Summary - 49 BOSWORTH ROAD MEASHAM SWADLINCOTE DE12 7LG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable freehold starter near local shops and good transport links.
Two bedrooms in compact Victorian mid-terrace layout
A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering practical two-bedroom accommodation and an attractive freehold price point. The house sits on a small plot with a lawned rear garden and patio — a useful outdoor space for first-time buyers or landlords. Interior rooms are functional but dated; visible finishes suggest a light refurbishment will improve comfort and value.
The property is sold by modern auction, so buyers must allow for a 56-day completion period, pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and buy a Buyer Information Pack (£349 inc. VAT). These auction costs significantly affect overall purchase calculations and should be factored into affordability or yield assessments.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for homeworking tenants or owners. However, the home sits in an area with above-average crime and local deprivation, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and future insulation work should be anticipated.
This house will suit a hands-on first-time buyer wanting a low-entry freehold home or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let with strong rental demand locally. Expect some cosmetic and possible fabric work to modernise and to unlock full rental or resale potential.
