Set in a sought-after Cross Inn spot, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a rare combination of period character and private off-street parking. The house has generous room proportions, two sizeable bedrooms and a welcoming reception room with a working fireplace that retains original charm. At about 915 sq ft on a small plot, it suits buyers seeking a long-term family home or first-time purchasers wanting space and character.
The property is offered via modern auction, so buyers should be comfortable with that sales route and its extra costs. There is an undisclosed reserve price and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600), payable in addition to the bid. A Buyer Information Pack fee (up to £349) also applies. Prospective purchasers must complete their own due diligence and are advised to arrange a survey and checks on services before bidding.
Internally the house shows signs of age and some wear: dated decor and carpets, evidence of mould in places, single-pane windows in some rooms and assumed uninsulated stone walls (typical of pre-1900 construction). The property has gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing of unknown age. These factors point to potential renovation and insulation costs but also offer scope to add value through sympathetic updating.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, off-street private parking—uncommon for terraces in the area—fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location benefits from easy public transport access, nearby schools and local amenities. Note the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect future resale values and should be considered alongside the property’s strengths.
