Period three-bed terrace with large garden — auction sale, scope to modernise.
Three bedrooms with two reception rooms and a large rear garden
A three-bedroom mid-terrace on Hillcrest Road offers a traditional layout with two reception rooms, a sizable rear garden and period features such as an Edwardian hallway and bay front. The house is structurally typical of 1930s–1940s terraces with cavity walls, mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). Rooms are average-sized and the property suits a family or first-time buyer wanting space and scope to improve.
The accommodation is practical: entrance hall with high ceilings, separate lounge and diner, ground-floor shower room and two bathrooms in total. Photographs show mid-century built-in wardrobes and some dated finishes (pink carpet, older fittings), so cosmetic refurbishment and kitchen/bathroom modernisation will be needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards and to unlock added value.
Location is a strength: walking distance to transport links, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds support commuting or home working. Nearby primary and secondary schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings, and the large rear garden is notable for this type of terraced plot.
Important sale details: the property will be sold by the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should budget for a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 inc. VAT). These are payable in addition to the purchase price and should be factored into buying costs. Consider a lender’s pre-check and a full viewing and survey before bidding.
