Affordable starter or buy-to-let with clear uplift potential in NG18.
Gated driveway and side access to a low-maintenance rear garden
Compact 610 sq ft layout: economical but limited living space
Needs full cosmetic renovation throughout; scope to add value
Sold by auction — completion within 56 days; buyer pack £349
Located in a very deprived area with high local crime rates
Double glazing fitted pre-2002; may require updating
Mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating
Very low council tax, fast broadband, average mobile signal
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.
