This one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is offered for sale via auction with no onward chain, presented on a freehold title and set on a small, low-maintenance plot. The property has clear practical strengths: a double block-paved driveway, a single garage, a generous 15ft living room with dual aspect windows and a feature fireplace, plus a rear garden with lawn, paved areas and storage shed. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit working-from-home needs.
The interior provides a sensible layout with one bedroom (fitted wardrobes), a kitchen/breakfast room and a three-piece bathroom. The home is mid-20th century and will benefit from updating and cosmetic modernisation to suit modern tastes — an opportunity for buyers to add value. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to standard ceiling heights and a traditional exterior in brick and tiles.
Buyers should note this is a Modern Method of Auction sale. A non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 including VAT) will be payable by the winning bidder, plus a £349 Buyer Information Pack fee. Completion is required within 56 days. These costs and timescales may affect mortgage arrangements and suitability for some purchasers.
The area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which may concern those prioritising neighbourhood security and long-term capital appreciation. On the positive side, local schools have good Ofsted ratings, shops and bus links are nearby, and council tax is very low, which supports affordability for first-time buyers or downsizers.
