A Victorian mid-terrace with a stone façade, 75m2 (approx. 807 sq ft) and mixed commercial/residential layout. The lot includes a shop front, reception room, kitchen, yard to front and rear and is offered for sale at auction with a guide price of £60,000. The property is sold freehold; EPC grade E and council tax band A. Finance options are available through third-party providers.
The house is a clear renovation project: internal inspection notes dereliction, damp and mould, worn hardwood floors and general neglect. Heating is by electric room heaters only, walls are assumed uninsulated sandstone/limestone, and services/appliances have not been tested. Buyers should plan for a full refurbishment, possible rewire and replacement of heating to meet modern standards.
Important transactional points: the sale is at auction (buying is legally binding), there is a buyer’s premium of 1.2% (min £1,200 inc VAT) and additional disbursements in the legal pack. The auction particulars state three bedrooms but summary data lists one—interested bidders must verify room count and accommodation details before bidding.
Location notes: the address sits in a densely populated, very deprived area with a high crime score, but it benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, nearby amenities and several good or outstanding schools within reach. The small plot and mid-terrace form limit external expansion, but the property may suit investors seeking rental income or a refurbishment flip in a cost-sensitive market.
