This three-bedroom semi offers straightforward living and clear potential for first-time buyers or investors prepared to refurbish. The layout includes a lounge, kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom, family bathroom and front and rear gardens, all on a compact freehold plot. Mains gas central heating, double glazing and good broadband are practical pluses for everyday living.
The property is sold via a modern auction. Bids are subject to an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus other buyer costs. Completion is expected within 56 days; buyers must complete identity checks and provide proof of funding. These auction terms and fees are material to the total purchase cost.
Internally the house shows signs of age and will suit someone ready to update finishes and fixtures. There’s scope to create a modern kitchen and refresh decorative surfaces; the layout is conventional and practical. The small rear garden and modest room sizes reflect the property’s compact overall footprint.
Location is convenient for local schools (several rated Good) and nearby shops and bus links. The area is classed as very deprived, which may influence long-term resale values but can also support rental demand. Prospective buyers should carry out full due diligence — including checks on services, measurements and any repair needs — before bidding.
