Freehold with decent plot and gardens to three sides
Three bedrooms; two reception rooms; separate kitchen

Offered at auction with no onward chain, this three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a clear investor opportunity. Priced from a guide of £70,000, the sale will incur a buyer administration fee of £2,400 and may be subject to a reserve up to 10% above guide. The property is freehold and sits on a decent plot with gardens to three sides and garage parking.
The house requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely deeper works — but already benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Interiors include two reception rooms, a ground-floor shower room with separate W.C., a separate kitchen and an upstairs bathroom with separate W.C., offering straightforward reconfiguration potential for rental or resale layouts.
Location strengths include good public transport links, nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Notable risks include above-average local crime, an EPC rating of D and the advice to commission a mining search due to regional history. Buyers should allow budget and time for refurbishment and for customary auction-related legal checks.
This lot will suit experienced investors or builders seeking a value purchase to renovate and let or flip. Viewings at auction and pre-purchase surveys are strongly recommended to quantify remedial works and running costs.
