This 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered via the Modern Method of Auction with no onward chain, presenting clear potential for an investor or buyer comfortable with renovation. The property sits on a small plot with a large rear garden and driveway for off-street parking. It is freehold, approximately 905 sq ft, and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown).
The house requires renovation throughout — cosmetic updating, landscaping and likely insulation/upgrades to meet modern standards. Solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated; buyers should expect work to improve thermal efficiency and finish. The property’s EPC is currently Band E with potential to improve to B after works. Auction purchasers should budget for buyer fees, a non-refundable reservation fee and review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding.
Location offers strong transport links into Crewe town centre, nearby train and bus stations, A500 and M6 access, and several local primary and secondary schools within walking distance. The area is in a very deprived, high-crime ward with a large transitional renter population — factors that will influence resale and rental demand and should be weighed by buyers and investors.
For the right buyer this is a value-led project: reasonable purchase price, off-street parking, large rear garden and straightforward 1930s layout provide scope to create a comfortable family home or rental unit after renovation. Be prepared for practical works, safety checks, and local-area considerations before committing at auction.
