A vacant freehold two-bedroom Victorian terraced house in central Stoke-on-Trent offered for sale at public auction. The property includes two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom, rear yard and benefits from mains gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. At c.884 sq ft it offers straightforward layout and solid brick construction typical of early 20th-century terraces.
This lot is sold as a renovation/refurbishment project. The house requires modernisation throughout and likely insulation and updating to services; buyers should allow for works. There is a medium flood risk, the local area records very high crime and very high deprivation, so suitability for owner-occupation should be considered carefully.
The guide price is low and the sale will be at auction on 11 September 2025; vacant possession on completion. The property could suit an experienced investor, builder or developer targeting a city-centre rental or resale opportunity, but purchasers must review the legal pack and budget for refurbishment costs, potential additional special conditions and the auction administration fee.
