A three-bedroom semi-detached home on Highlands Avenue offered for sale by auction — a straightforward refurbishment project in an established Spinney Hill location. The house provides around 800 sq ft of accommodation across two storeys with a lounge, extended dining room, kitchen, downstairs WC, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside there is off-street parking, a garage and a rear garden that is currently overgrown.
This property is best suited to an investor or buyer comfortable with a project. The construction dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s; walls are cavity-built with no known injected insulation and the home will benefit from updating to kitchen, bathroom, decoration and likely energy-efficiency improvements. Services (mains gas, water, drainage and electricity) are connected but have not been tested.
Important practical points: the sale is by auction with associated buyer charges (administration and premium). The guide price band is shown and viewings are by appointment. The plot and internal layout offer scope to add value through reconfiguration or modernisation, but budget for renovation and garden clearance when assessing purchase cost and timescale.
Local amenities are close by — shops, bus routes, schools and Northampton Racecourse are within easy reach — making this a convenient refurbishment opportunity in a well-served residential area.
