An end-of-terrace Victorian property offered at auction with clear redevelopment potential. The house requires full renovation but benefits from granted planning permission (ref: 24/00245/FUL) to convert into five self-contained apartments, making it a strong prospect for developers or buy-to-let investors seeking added value.
Set on a large plot in Talke (ST7 1LS), the property is freehold and of solid-brick construction typical of 1900–1929 builds. Current accommodation provides four bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 1,152 sq ft, with period external features and a garden. Heating is basic (room heaters, anthracite) and the walls are likely uninsulated — substantial upgrade work will be needed to meet modern standards.
Important purchase considerations: the lot is sold at public auction, subject to a buyer’s administration fee of £1,800 (inc VAT) and legal pack terms — bidders must register and accept auction conditions. The property is marketed as a renovation project; structural, electrics and heating works should be budgeted for. With fast broadband, nearby schools rated Good, and local amenities, the site suits a focused redevelopment plan aimed at rental demand.
