This three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home sits on Ribchester Road in a very affluent, sought-after neighbourhood. It offers classic period features — bay windows and brickwork — with a decent garden and good natural light throughout. The property is a clear renovation project with strong potential for capital uplift once modernised.
Sold via online auction on unconditional terms with a strict 28-day completion, this lot is priced from £170,000. Prospective buyers should note an additional buyer’s premium of £6,000 (inc. VAT) payable on completion, and that the reserve price is higher than the starting bid. An EPC rating of F reflects poor current energy efficiency and will need improvement during works.
Internally the layout includes an entrance hall, living room, separate dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Services include mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and cavity-filled walls. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working during renovation.
For families, the area benefits from several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach, low crime rates and local amenities such as shops, buses and leisure facilities. Investors or DIY buyers will find clear scope to add value but should budget for full modernisation works, likely including energy upgrades, redecoration and possible kitchen and bathroom replacement.
