This traditional Victorian mid-terrace on Chapel House Road offers a straightforward entry into homeownership with clear scope to add value. Two bright reception rooms, an extended fitted kitchen and a small forecourt plus enclosed yard provide practical family living at an accessible guide price of £70,000. The long lease (875 years) removes major leasehold pressure.
The property requires renovation throughout and is sold by the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of price, minimum £6,600) and a 56-day completion expectation after draft contract receipt. The third bedroom is reached via the bathroom — a layout quirk that will likely need alteration for family use. The area is very deprived with a high local crime rate, so buyers should factor local market demand and security improvements into any refurbishment budget.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. At about 917 sq ft, the home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a modest refurbishment project for resale or rental. Carrying out sympathetic modernisation would reveal the property’s original character and improve living flow and rental appeal.
