Auction sale — cash buyers only; renovation and investment potential.
Three bedrooms in traditional two-storey layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a low-entry footprint in Sutton-in-Ashfield, sold via the Modern Method of Auction. With 816 sqft across two floors, the property is chain-free and freehold, suitable for cash buyers and those seeking renovation or rental potential. The layout is traditional: entrance hall, lounge, separate kitchen-diner, ground-floor bathroom, and three first-floor bedrooms plus a separate W/C.
The house has practical basics in place — mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed post-2002, and no flood risk. The rear courtyard garden is low-maintenance and has gated side access. Broadband speeds are reported as fast, which supports rental appeal or modern household needs.
Material drawbacks are clear and must be budgeted for: the property requires modernization and cosmetic updating throughout, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. It sits in a deprived area with high local crime rates and small plot size, factors that affect resale and lettability. The auction process imposes specific costs and timelines: completion within 56 days, a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349), and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600). Buyers using mortgages should verify finance suitability before bidding.
Suited to investors, cash purchasers, or hands-on buyers, this house presents a value-led opportunity to add value through updating and targeted rental or resale improvements.
