Summary - 1B HIGH STREET, ATTLEBOROUGH NR17 2BS
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free auction lot — period two-bed with garden and refurbishment potential.
Two double bedrooms with period character and exposed beams
Set close to Attleborough town centre, this mid-terrace two-double-bedroom cottage blends period character with practical updates such as double glazing and gas central heating. The layout includes a spacious living room with exposed beams, a kitchen/dining room on the ground floor and a bathroom, with two double bedrooms upstairs — a straightforward home for first-time buyers or a lettable proposition for investors.
Offered chain free and to be sold at auction with a guide price of £140,000–£150,000, the property has genuine scope for improvement. The solid brick walls date from before 1900 and are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for possible thermal upgrades to reduce running costs and improve comfort. Decorative condition is described as generally good, though some internal finishes feel dated and there is clear potential to increase value through sympathetic refurbishment.
Practical positives include a decent private garden, mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing installed post-2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for modern working patterns. Flood risk is low and council tax is described as cheap. Notable local conveniences and transport links are nearby, including schools, shops and the A11 with rail connections to Norwich and Cambridge.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction mean refurbishment works (insulation, potential electrical or cosmetic updates) may be required. The wider area records above-average crime, which may be a consideration for families; practical measures such as improved external lighting and security could help. This cottage suits someone looking for a character home to personalise or an investor seeking a town-centre rental with refurbishment upside.
