This three-bedroom semi-detached home in a quiet cul-de-sac offers solid family space and clear potential for improvement. The property has been extended to the front and includes a conservatory, driveway, detached garage and a decent rear garden — useful for families or buy-to-let buyers seeking rental income or refurbishment upside.
The interior requires modernisation throughout: the kitchen is dated and in poor condition, and general renovation is needed to bring the house up to contemporary standards. The property benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C, reducing immediate major energy works but still requiring cosmetic and functional upgrades.
Important sale information: the property will be sold at auction on 29 October 2025 with binding contracts exchanged at sale. Bidders should be aware of the auction terms: a minimum 5% deposit (or £5,000) plus a buyer’s fee (4.8% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000 inc. VAT). Review the legal pack before bidding.
Location notes: set in an ageing suburban area with good local schools and fast broadband, the house sits near woodland at the front and local amenities. However, recorded local crime levels are high — factor this into family or rental decisions.
