A compact Victorian end-of-terrace offering two bedrooms and traditional layout in a central Crescent Road location. The house has separate living and dining rooms, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and a small enclosed rear garden with shed and greenhouse. Its solid brick construction (likely uninsulated) and surviving period character give clear scope for cosmetic modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements.
Sold by the Modern Method of Auction, the sale requires a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000 inc. VAT) and completion within 56 days of contract draft to allow mortgage finance. Buyers should review the Buyer Information Pack, expect identity and funding checks, and allow for the auction’s additional preparation fee of £300 inc. VAT.
Suitable for investors or buyers looking for a renovation project close to the city centre and local schools. The property is small (approx. 603 sq ft) and will suit buyers comfortable with a compact footprint and a short-term programme of works. Note the local area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with above-average crime levels; take this into account for security or lettability plans.
Practical considerations: heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators, glazing details are not defined, and walls are solid brick (insulation likely required). The house presents potential for rental income or resale after upgrading, but requires a realistic budget for modernisation, energy improvements and minor maintenance.
