A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms and clear scope for value-add through renovation. The house sits in a well-served Intake location close to schools, shops and transport links, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for first-time buyers or investors looking for rental demand.
The property requires a programme of modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, thorough cleaning, and likely improvements to wall insulation. It benefits from mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, uPVC double glazing (install date unknown), a small low-maintenance rear garden and on-street parking. Council tax costs are very low; there is no flood risk.
Important practical points for buyers: the sale is via Modern Auction and includes a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, subject to minimums) plus buyer’s administration costs. The property is freehold, sold with no onward chain, and completion is typically required within 56 days under the auction terms.
This is a straightforward project property for a buyer prepared to renovate to modern standards. It will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into homeownership, or an investor comfortable managing refurbishment and auction purchase mechanics. Note the local area records above-average crime and the property’s traditional sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, which should be factored into running-cost and upgrade plans.
