A three-bedroom semi-detached house offered as a vacant freehold at public auction. The property sits back from the road with a foregarden, private rear garden, driveway and apparent garage potential — practical outdoor space for a young family or buyer seeking rental income. It has gas central heating and double glazing, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for modern family life or remote working.
The interior requires modernization throughout: the house will need updates to kitchen, bathroom and general decorative and mechanical elements. Double glazing dates from before 2002 and the EPC is rated D, so energy upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. There is a single shower room/WC serving three bedrooms, which may be restrictive for larger households.
This sale is by public auction with a guide price of £175,000 and a compulsory administration fee payable on completion; buyers must read the legal pack and be prepared to exchange unconditionally on the fall of the hammer. The wider area profile shows young, hard-pressed families and local area indicators of social renting and deprivation — buyers should factor local market conditions into repositioning or rental assumptions.
For purchasers looking for a renovation project, rental asset or family home with scope, this property offers clear potential: reasonable footprint (circa 980 sq ft), outside space, parking and proximity to several Good-rated primary and secondary schools. Expect to budget for modernisation and to use the auction process (or pre-auction offers) to secure the lot.
