This substantial four-bedroom, three-storey end-of-terrace in LS8 is a clear refurbishment opportunity offered freehold at auction. The property retains period features such as a bay-windowed lounge and high ceilings, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Its layout — lounge, kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and bathroom, plus two attic-level bedrooms — suits shared-let or family layouts after renovation.
The house requires a comprehensive modernisation scheme: cosmetic works, kitchen and bathroom replacement, and likely improvements to decorations and services. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction with no known wall insulation and there are signs of damp in the living room; factor in insulation, damp remediation and an EPC improvement plan. The property has an enclosed rear yard and a compact plot, so external landscaping costs will be modest.
Buyers should note the sale is via public auction on 17 December 2025 with binding contracts exchanged that day. Auction terms include a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a buyers’ fee of 1.2% (minimum £1,860 inc. VAT); read the legal pack for any additional special conditions before bidding. The local area shows signs of high deprivation and above-average crime rates, which will influence rental demand and resale values.
For a prepared investor or an experienced DIY buyer, this property offers scope to add value through modernisation and improving EPC rating. Nearby schools and local amenities provide lettable demand, but realistic budgeting for remedial works, safety upgrades and marketing in a challenging neighbourhood will be essential.
