A 1930s semi‑detached chalet-style property offered freehold with vacant possession and clear scope for improvement. The house provides four bedrooms across two floors, a ground-floor living/kitchen area, separate study, shower room, first-floor bathroom, garage, off-street parking and front and rear gardens.
This lot is for sale by online auction on 22 October 2025 with a guide price of £220,000. An application has been submitted for a rear extension; proposed plans are available for inspection. The property currently requires full modernisation throughout — expect refurbishment of kitchens, bathrooms, decoration, and possible work to services and insulation (solid brick walls presumed uninsulated).
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted post‑2002, decent plot size, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and good primary and secondary schools nearby. Transport links are reasonable for the area, with local stations and bus services within reach.
Important negatives are candid: the EPC is rated G, the property needs renovation, and the location is in a very deprived area with high recorded crime. Auction buyers should note buyer’s fees and possible additional completion charges detailed in the legal pack. This is a renovation and development opportunity best suited to experienced investors or buyers prepared to carry out substantial works.
