This three-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot in Easington Lane and is offered for sale at auction with vacant possession. The property has an open-plan ground floor, separate lounge, utility room, and a substantial summerhouse in the rear garden — useful for storage or letting potential. A single family bathroom serves three bedrooms upstairs.
The house presents clear scope for refurbishment and adding value: the open-plan layout and large plot could suit an investor or buyer prepared to modernise. Key running details include mains gas central heating, double glazing, freehold tenure, EPC rating D, and low Council Tax (Band B). The garage and front/rear gardens add practical appeal.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations before bidding. The property lies in a very deprived area with high crime levels, which will affect rental demand and resale pricing. The sale is by auction (27 November 2025) with a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a non-refundable buyers’ fee of £1,500 payable on completion; contracts are binding at sale.
The house is best suited to cash buyers or those who can fund and manage renovation works. Conduct independent inspections and review the legal pack carefully — the auctioneers have not inspected the property. For an investor willing to refurbish, the low guide price and large plot offer clear potential to add value.
