A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Wolseley Road offered at auction with a modest starting bid of £120,000. The layout includes a front lounge, kitchen/diner, downstairs WC, three bedrooms and a shower room, plus a tiered rear garden and outbuilding. The property is freehold and chain-free, suited to buyers prepared to renovate and personalise.
The home sits in a convenient position close to local amenities, schools and Devonport Naval Base, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a lettable city property. The plot and accommodation are compact (approximately 786 sq ft) and best suited to buyers expecting modest living space or a rental yield.
Significant points to budget for: the property is older (1930s–1940s) with assumed cavity walls lacking insulation, visible wear and tear and some dated internal finishes. It is sold via the Modern Method of Auction with an undisclosed reserve price; bidders must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) plus handling fees and complete within 56 days. Prospective buyers should review the Buyer Information Pack and commission their own surveys before bidding.
Overall this is a clear refurbishment opportunity in a very deprived area where running costs (council tax described as very cheap) and connectivity are positives. It will suit a first-time buyer or investor who wants an affordable entry into the Plymouth market and is comfortable managing renovation and auction-specific costs and timelines.
