This three-bedroom, two-storey semi sits on a large plot in North Cheriton and will be sold at auction on 14 October 2025. The house is freehold and was previously local authority owned; it requires updating and refurbishment throughout. An EPC rating of D and electric storage heating indicate modest running costs but potential improvement opportunities.
Ground floor accommodation includes a reception room, kitchen, dining room, shower room/WC and conservatory; first floor offers three bedrooms and a separate WC. The generous rear garden and front garden are standout features for family use, extension potential or landscaping projects. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — factor this in if remote working is important.
This property is suited to experienced DIY buyers, landlords and investors comfortable with auction purchases and refurbishment projects. Buyers should note the compulsory contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) payable by the purchaser and that additional seller fees may apply at completion. Viewings are by specified open times; no booking required.
Important negatives: the house needs renovation, services and appliances have not been tested, glazing is older double glazing installed before 2002, and heating is by electric storage heaters which may be costly to run or require upgrading. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own surveys and factor renovation costs into any bid.
