The house has a classic period exterior, three bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and family bathroom, plus an enclosed rear garden and detached garage for parking or storage. Council Tax Band B and an Energy Efficiency Rating of D65 keep running costs down.
The interior is well lit with large windows and recently laid laminate flooring in places, but some areas show dated decor and will benefit from cosmetic updating. The property has mains gas central heating, double glazing (unknown install date) and solid stone walls which may lack modern insulation — consider improvement work to improve comfort and efficiency.
This sale is by auction under the Modern Method of Sale. Buyers should note the reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a £300 buyer pack payment, and a 56-day completion period. The Buyer Information Pack should be reviewed and independent surveys and checks completed before bidding.
Set in a convenient, low-crime area close to shops, schools and transport, the home suits a first-time buyer wanting a manageable project or an investor seeking rental potential. Expect a small garden and compact plot, and plan for some modernisation and possible insulation upgrades to maximise long-term value.
