This two-bedroom house on Recreation Street is a compact, affordable opportunity in central Mansfield, offered freehold and sold via auction. Its modern fitted kitchen (installed about seven years ago) and bright conservatory give immediate liveable space, while a private, low-maintenance rear garden and permit/on-street parking add practical appeal.
The property suits investors or buyers seeking a low-entry purchase near the town centre. At 760 sq ft, the layout is traditional and straightforward — two bedrooms and a large family bathroom — with scope to improve value through cosmetic updating. Heating is electric room heaters, so buyers should factor running costs and potential heating upgrades into budgets.
Important considerations are the auction sale route and local area context. The sale uses the Modern Method of Auction with a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with very high crime rates; purchasers should factor these factors into rental assumptions or family suitability.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Nearby state primary and secondary schools include several rated Good; local amenities, bus links and healthcare facilities are within walking distance. Overall this is a straightforward, small-plot property with short-term rental or refurbishment potential, provided buyers accept the location-related risks and possible heating/modernisation costs.
