This three-bedroom detached period house in Southowram offers genuine character with a large garden and open countryside outlook. Original features such as exposed beams, a stone fireplace and sash-style elevations give the home immediate charm, while a practical driveway and carport provide off-street parking. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, including useful lower-ground rooms and a shower room, giving scope for flexible use.
The property will be sold via a modern auction. Bidders should note an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and an additional buyers’ administration cost (up to £349). The sale must usually complete within 56 days and successful buyers will need to provide ID and proof of funding; read the Buyer Information Pack and reservation agreement carefully before bidding.
Internally the house is sound but shows signs that modernisation may be required to meet contemporary expectations — kitchens, bathrooms and finishes may need updating. The plot is very large with attractive mature trees and fields to the rear, but the frontage is limited with a modest paved forecourt directly onto the pavement, so roadside prominence affects immediate privacy and kerbside parking.
This property suits a buyer seeking period character and outside space who is comfortable with an auction purchase and some renovation. It could work well for a first-time buyer or couple wanting a character home with scope to add value, provided they allow for the auction fees and the possible need for internal upgrading.
