Chain free sale by modern auction; buyer fees and reserve price apply
Requires full renovation throughout; scope for conversion or refurbishment
Single family bathroom only; additional bathrooms likely needed
Enclosed rear garden and off‑street parking for several vehicles
Double glazing installed pre‑2002; sandstone walls have no insulation
Slow broadband speeds; excellent mobile signal
Local area: above‑average crime and very deprived — consider location risks
A substantial five‑bedroom semi-detached house in Summerhill offered chain‑free and sold via modern auction. The property occupies an average sized plot with an enclosed rear garden and off‑street parking for several vehicles — rare for this price band — and presents clear potential for rental or resale once refurbished.
Internally the house provides generous accommodation across multiple reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, and five bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. Built before 1900 with sandstone walls and original features, it will reward a buyer prepared to invest in modernisation: double glazing is in place but dates from before 2002 and there is no known wall insulation.
This is a renovation project: the building needs updating throughout (cosmetic and likely structural/ services work should be confirmed), broadband speeds are slow, and local area indicators show higher crime levels and significant deprivation. The sale is by Modern Method of Auction — expect reservation fees, buyer admin charges and a fixed completion timetable, so factor those costs and timings into any offer.
For an investor or experienced DIY buyer the house offers scale and flexibility — multiple reception rooms and five bedrooms allow conversion to HMOs or family lettings subject to permissions. For a family seeking a long‑term home, the layout and parking are attractive but be prepared for a full refurbishment program and the additional costs associated with auction purchase.
