Set on Commercial Street in Willington, this end-terrace offers spacious, practical accommodation across two floors — about 85 sqm (914 sqft) in total. The property has two double bedrooms, a lounge with feature fireplace, and a courtyard garden. It will be sold at auction with vacant possession, presenting a straightforward purchase route for cash or investor buyers.
The kitchen and bathroom have been described as recently updated, reducing immediate major works, but the house still needs cosmetic finishing and some upgrading. The living room shows dated décor and a mould issue around a window frame; buyers should plan for internal redecoration and remedial works. Walls are original sandstone/limestone and likely uninsulated, and the glazing date is unknown.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The small, enclosed rear courtyard is low-maintenance and useful for storage or outdoor seating. Council Tax is very low (Band A) and the EPC is E.
Material considerations: the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime and an ageing, industrial-worker demographic; this affects resale and rental demand. The property requires renovation in places and is better suited to buyers willing to invest time or funds to add value. Viewings are via the advertised open house slots; the property goes to auction in mid-November.
