Summary - 71, Bentley Street, NELSON BB9 0BS
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Auction project in central Nelson — low entry price, clear scope to add value.
Victorian mid-terrace with bay window facade and raised forecourt
A traditional two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Bentley Street, Nelson, offered as an auction starting bid of £70,000. The house provides two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a first-floor bathroom across a compact 816 sq ft layout, with a small rear yard for storage or a modest outdoor area. Rooms are comfortable and well-proportioned, giving a straightforward canvas for refurbishment.
The property requires updating throughout, making it a clear renovation project with scope to add value. It is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, helping with immediate practical needs while works are carried out. There is no flood risk, and council tax is described as very cheap, which supports lower ongoing costs.
Important buyer facts: this sale uses the Modern Method of Auction with a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a £300 buyer information pack fee where applicable. The sale must complete within 56 days of the draft contract being sent to the buyer’s solicitor; buyers should complete their own due diligence and be prepared for identification and funding verification.
Location is central to Nelson with local shops, multiple primary and secondary schools (several rated Good), and public transport nearby. Be aware the area records high crime levels and is within a very deprived local area — factors to consider for families or lettings. Suitable for a first-time buyer prepared to renovate or an investor seeking a low-entry price refurbishment opportunity.
