A vacant freehold detached house offered at auction with a guide price of £50,000. The property requires full modernisation throughout but offers a three-bedroom layout across approximately 1,176 sq ft, a driveway, garage and a small rear garden. It presents a clear opportunity for an investor or developer prepared to take on a refurbishment or seek planning consent for change of use or redevelopment.
Sold at public auction on 23 October 2025, the lot is offered with vacant possession and an EPC rating of E. The seller notes the site may be suitable for development, subject to obtaining necessary planning consents. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s, has filled cavity walls, double glazing of unknown date, gas central heating and a single bathroom; the single-storey rear extension currently provides a workshop and WC.
Buyers should budget for modernisation works and factor in auction costs: unconditional exchange on the fall of the gavel, an administration fee payable on completion, and any additional sums detailed in the legal pack. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as hampered and the wider area as white professionals, with local indicators of significant deprivation; nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings. Viewings are scheduled in October prior to auction.
This property suits a cash or refurbishment buyer comfortable with auction purchase mechanics, renovation programmes and possible planning enquiries. It is not presented as a move-in-ready family home—expect works to roofs, interiors, finishes and services to meet contemporary standards.
