Summary - 65 William Street, Auckland Park DL14 8RJ
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Chain-free period home with large garden and conversion potential.
Extended stone-built mid-terrace with substantial internal space
This extended stone-built mid-terrace offers substantial living space at an entry-level price, ideal for a buyer willing to invest time and modest renovation. The ground floor provides a flexible layout — a kitchen/breakfast room, an extended reception that can function as a third bedroom and a convenient wet room. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a loft with a Velux window for light and potential storage or conversion.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted post-2002 and a large rear garden with a part-built garage structure offering scope for extension or outbuilding conversion. The property is freehold and chain-free, which simplifies purchase and could speed moving or letting processes.
Be candid about the location and fabric: the property is in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which will affect resale and rental appeal. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the house will benefit from targeted refurbishment to improve thermal efficiency and modern standards.
For a first-time buyer or investor, this house represents a low-cost opportunity to secure a sizable period home with strong potential — especially if you value outdoor space and room to adapt. However, budget realistically for cosmetic and insulation upgrades and factor local area challenges into long-term plans.
