Two-bedroom period home with attic and garden — priced for renovation.
Period Victorian mid-terrace with stone façade and feature fireplace
This traditional Victorian mid-terrace offers two bedrooms, an attic room and a small garden across four storeys — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The stone façade, feature fireplace and exposed beams give genuine period character, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort. Council tax is very low and local schools include several rated Good, making the area suitable for families on a budget.
The property is sold via the Modern Method of Auction and is subject to a reserve price. Bidders must allow for a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 including VAT) and any optional service fees. Completion is on a fixed 56-day timescale from reservation — buyers using a mortgage should ensure finance is in place before bidding.
Internally the house will benefit from updating: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the walls are likely uninsulated (original sandstone/limestone construction). The attic brings useful extra space but may require conversion work. There is no reported flood risk and the lease has a long term remaining (approximately 841 years).
Location is mixed: the property is in a densely populated urban area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to shops, community facilities and public transport. The neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices and crime rates are reported as high — buyers should factor local conditions into their plans for security and resale potential.
Overall this is a budget-priced period home with solid upside for someone prepared to modernise and manage auction purchase costs and timescales. It suits a buyer seeking character and value rather than a turnkey home.
