This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Westmorland Avenue offers clear rental and resale potential thanks to its sizeable footprint and rare triple garage to the rear. The ground-floor extension creates a long dining/conservatory space, while original bay-front character and double glazing retain period appeal. Full-fibre broadband and good mobile signal support modern tenants or homeowners.
The property will be sold by online auction with a starting bid of £150,000. Successful bidders should expect to pay a deposit (typically 10%) and a buyer’s premium (usually 4% plus VAT, subject to minimums) within 24 hours. A 360° virtual tour is available; prospective buyers should download the legal pack and seek legal advice before bidding.
Important negatives are straightforward: the area scores as very deprived with above-average local crime levels, and the property’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy upgrades may be needed. There is only one bathroom. These factors affect tenant demand, running costs, and refurbishment budgets and should be factored into valuations.
For investors this is a practical, value-led opportunity — freehold, traditional build (circa 1950s), decent plot and exceptional garage space mean flexible future uses (rental, lock-up storage income, or refurbishment and resale). For owner-occupiers who prioritise space and proximity to Stanley Park, the house is liveable now but will benefit from planned updates to heating efficiency and security.
