A substantial four-bedroom detached family home on Avenue Road, Stoneygate, offering about 1,733 sq ft of flexible living space and a large 29ft garage with an in-and-out gravel driveway. The house centres on an impressive 28ft L-shaped lounge/dining room plus a separate family room and a principal bedroom with en-suite — well suited to family life and entertaining. The rear garden is low-maintenance and the property benefits from gas central heating and secondary glazing.
Important transactional details: this lot is being sold via a secure online auction with a Starting Bid of £500,000. Buyers should allow for a non-refundable buyer’s reservation fee (up to 6% inc VAT, minimum £6,000) and an immediate 5% deposit on exchange; please review the legal pack and auction terms before bidding.
Practical considerations: the house is an older solid-brick build (circa 1900–1929) and likely has little cavity wall insulation. There is scope for alterations subject to planning permission, which will suit purchasers looking to update or extend, but works and insulation upgrades may be required. Council tax is high and the area shows pockets of deprivation despite nearby strong schools and good transport and broadband connectivity.
This property will appeal to families seeking space and character with potential to personalise, and to buyers comfortable with auction purchase mechanics. It offers immediate living capability with clear improvement and energy-efficiency opportunities for those wanting to add long-term value.
