A solid Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms and clear scope for refurbishment. The house is structurally sound but requires general modernisation throughout — replacement kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic works are needed to bring it up to contemporary standards.
Internally there are two reception rooms with original fireplaces and a bay window that deliver good natural light and period character. The large bathroom with a corner bath and a compact kitchen provide sound starting points for improvement. Outside is a small private rear yard; there is no off-street parking.
Located close to public transport links and a cluster of primary and secondary schools, the property suits landlords targeting the student or working-renter market or buyers looking for a first home to update. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as strong, and council tax is low (Band A), helping running costs.
Important auction details and risks: the sale is by Modern Method of Auction. Buyers will pay for a Buyer Information Pack and a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600). Tenure is not confirmed and should be verified before bidding. Note the area has high crime levels and high deprivation, which may affect rental demand and resale values.
