Large plot with garage and parking, ideal for a renovating family.
Double-fronted Victorian detached house with period features
A double-fronted Victorian detached house on a large plot, offered with no chain and clear potential to become a comfortable family home. The property retains period features such as sash windows, exposed beams and brick fireplaces, and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Internally the layout is traditional: entrance hall, two reception rooms, dining kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house is sold via the Modern Method of Auction and requires renovation throughout. That presents scope to update the kitchen and bathroom, improve insulation (stone walls currently without assumed insulation) and reconfigure rooms if desired. A gated driveway, detached single garage and enclosed low-maintenance rear garden add useful outdoor space and private parking.
Location is practical for commuters, only minutes from junction 26 of the M62 and within easy reach of several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Local amenities, bus routes and leisure facilities are nearby, and broadband/mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property needs modernisation and inertia works, there is a medium flooding risk and local crime levels are high. The auction process requires a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and completion within 56 days — factor these costs and timescales into any offer or financing plans.
