This small two-bedroom end-of-terrace is offered by modern auction and presents clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate. The house requires modernisation throughout but benefits from a gated driveway, low-maintenance rear garden and straightforward traditional layout across two storeys. With 610 sq ft, the property is compact and economical to run, with very low council tax.
Practical details important to bidders: sale via the Modern Method of Auction requires completion within 56 days and the winning bidder must purchase and view a Buyer Information Pack (£349 including VAT). Personal details will be shared with the auctioneer; anyone needing mortgage finance should seek lender pre-approval and inspect the property carefully before bidding.
Location strengths include fast broadband, mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and several nearby primary schools rated Good. Notable concerns are the property's need for renovation, its small overall size and placement in a very deprived area with high local crime — factors that will affect resale and letability assumptions. This is a pragmatic refurb project for someone aiming to add value through improvement or to secure an affordable starter home in NG18.
