A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Heacham Drive offered for sale by Modern Auction, suited to first-time buyers, small families or investors seeking a value refurbishment. The property is freehold, gas‑heated with double glazing and includes a single garage, driveway and modest front and rear gardens. At about 681 sq ft the home is compact but functional, with a generous lounge/dining room and a separate kitchen.
The house dates from the 1950s–1960s and presents straightforward improvement potential rather than a turnkey finish. Interior photos and descriptions show dated fittings and décor; buyers should expect cosmetic to medium refurbishment to modernise kitchen, bathroom and finishes. The construction is cavity wall with filled cavity and mains gas boiler and radiators in place.
Important auction information: this sale uses the Modern Method of Auction. An undisclosed reserve applies and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) plus associated auction costs will be payable by the buyer in addition to the purchase price. A Buyer Information Pack is provided; you must complete your own due diligence and satisfy mortgage/lender requirements within the 56‑day completion timeframe.
Practical positives include off‑street parking, a detached garage for storage or potential conversion (subject to consents), good local transport links and proximity to schools and Beaumont Leys shopping. Notable negatives are the need for modernisation, above-average local crime levels and the additional auction fees and administrative requirements buyers must accept.
