This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Thornhill is offered for sale by Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £90,000 and buyer’s reservation fees. The property is chain-free and vacant, presenting straightforward possession for a buyer who wants immediate control. Internally the accommodation is practical: two double bedrooms, a living room, kitchen/diner, utility/side entrance and a tiled wet room. The footprint is modest (approx. 563 sq ft) but the room arrangement feels usable for a first home or rental unit.
The house is of post‑war, system-built construction (c.1930–1949) with external insulation and double glazing. Main services include mains gas boiler and radiators; the EPC is D66 and council tax band A is very low. A small enclosed rear garden and front buffer yard provide outside space and scope for simple landscaping or low‑maintenance planting.
Significant practical points are stated up front: the property is system-built non‑standard construction, which can limit mortgage options — buyers should confirm finance with lenders before bidding. The interior fixtures and finishes are dated (1980s kitchen, carpets, wallpaper) and will need updating for modern standards; the property is therefore well suited to buyers able to carry out refurbishment or investors seeking a rental after modest works. The surrounding area shows higher crime and local deprivation indicators; read the buyer information pack and local reports if this matters to you.
If you are a first‑time purchaser prepared to invest time and budget into updating, or an investor seeking a low‑entry purchase in Thornhill, this home offers clear potential. The auction route means timescales are fixed and fees apply — study the auction documentation and arrange surveys and mortgage approvals before bidding.
