Set on a prominent corner plot on Illingworth Road, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers genuine scope for a first-time buyer or investor to add value. The property is freehold, chain-free and will be sold at auction, making it a straightforward purchase for someone ready to renovate. Interiors follow a traditional layout with separate lounge and dining rooms, fitted kitchen and a four-piece bathroom upstairs.
The standout feature is the large side and rear garden — rare for similar terraces — providing space for extension (subject to consents) or a private outdoor area. Both bedrooms are doubles and the home benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). Council Tax Band A and a modest overall footprint keep running costs low.
Important realities: the house needs modernisation throughout and will require cosmetic and likely mechanical updates to reach modern living standards. The area has higher crime and deprivation indices than average, which may affect resale timing. Buyers should note the property is offered at auction and the services and appliances have not been tested.
For a buyer prepared to invest time and budget, the home offers a low-entry purchase with clear potential to increase value through refurbishment, garden development or modest extension works, subject to planning.
