Auction opportunity with strong refurbishment potential near schools and transport.
Three-bedroom detached property with garage and driveway
This small three-bedroom detached property on a corner plot offers clear potential for refurbishment or rental. The house includes a garage and driveway for off-street parking and has good digital connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for tenants or remote workers. Internally the layout provides two reception rooms and a kitchen ready for modernization, with a family bathroom and three naturally lit bedrooms upstairs.
The property is being sold via the modern method of auction. Successful bidders should budget for a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349 (inc. VAT). Completion is required within 56 days, so buyers relying on mortgage finance should check affordability and lender requirements before bidding.
Notable negatives are material to decision-making: the area scores as very deprived with very high local crime rates, and the house is described as dated and in need of modernization. The overall internal size is small at approximately 668 sq ft, and the plot is modest. These factors affect resale and rental profiles and should be weighed against the low asking price and freehold tenure.
For investors the property’s low entry price and solid basic layout give scope for value uplift through targeted works or stable rental income. For a buyer prepared to update fixtures, finishes, and potentially improve security, this offers an affordable route into ownership in Mansfield. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, which supports lettings to families in parts of the area.
