Very high local crime and high area deprivation
This extended three-/four-bedroom semi-detached property offers substantial floor space (approximately 1,433 sq ft) and practical outdoor space including a driveway for three cars, garage and enclosed rear garden. The layout includes ground-floor cloakroom, lounge/diner, kitchen, sitting room and utility, with three bedrooms plus a dressing room/former fourth bedroom, main bathroom and en-suite upstairs.
The property is being sold at auction on 27 November 2025 and is currently let under a 20-year lease with ten years unexpired. The lease carries nil rent; this creates a long-term investment profile but is likely to restrict mortgage lending — many lenders will refuse finance with only ten years remaining. Buyers should therefore plan for a cash purchase or confirm lender acceptance before bidding.
Condition has not been verified by the auctioneers and internal inspection was not carried out; the sale is based on prior marketing material. EPC rating D. The area benefits from good transport links, fast broadband and nearby schools rated Good, but the local context includes very high crime levels and high deprivation, which may influence resale and lettings. Prospective purchasers must review the legal pack for special conditions and note the auction deposit and buyer’s fee requirements.
