Summary - 10 Melrose Road DN21 2SD
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Central location with good transport links and strong value-add potential.
Bay-fronted semi-detached with period features and small front and rear gardens
A bay-fronted semi-detached house in central Gainsborough offering two double bedrooms with an extra flexible room off the second bedroom that could be reconfigured as a third bedroom. The property requires full modernisation throughout, presenting clear scope to add value for a hands-on first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out works. Key services are in place — mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband — which reduce immediate outlay on utilities.
Externally there is small front and rear garden space and a traditional 1930s brick frontage with period bay windows. The built form appears system-built without visible insulation in the walls, so thermal upgrades may be needed. The area has excellent mobile signal and transport links to Lincoln, Doncaster and Scunthorpe, but local crime is above average and the ward is classified as very deprived, which will influence rental demand and resale comparables.
This property is offered by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the purchase must complete within 56 days, a Buyer Information Pack is provided for £349 (inc. VAT) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.50% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) is payable on exchange in addition to the purchase price. Inspect with your lender if using a mortgage; renovation works may affect mortgage terms. For those able to budget for refurbishment, the house presents a realistic, lower-price entry into ownership or a renovation-for-profit opportunity.
