Auction-priced Victorian end-terrace with garden — ideal for investors or renovators.
Auction sale — sold as-is, quick completion likely
A compact four-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace on East Street, offered freehold and selling via auction. The property totals about 732 sq ft on a small plot and includes a garden and private patio. Construction dates to the early 1900s with period bay windows and filled cavity walls; double glazing is present though install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators.
This property has clear investor or refurbishment appeal: low asking price and auction sale create potential for a buy-to-let conversion or a renovation project. The building has been described as "turned apartments" in some material, indicating previous subdivision or adaptable internal layout; confirm current internal configuration before viewing. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary and secondary schools include several rated Good.
Buyers must weigh material negatives: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with high crime levels and challenged local demographics. The house is small for four bedrooms and sits in a deprived blue-collar terrace context; resale and rental values may be affected. Council tax is very low, but purchasers should budget for likely repairs, updating and possible structural or services work typical of early-20th-century stock.
Suitable for experienced investors or cash buyers comfortable with auction purchases and local market risk. View as a value-entry purchase with refurbishment potential rather than a move-in-ready family home.
