Set on a popular residential street in Gilesgate, this five-bedroom semi-detached house offers flexible family living with generous bedroom space and a private rear garden. The house has a garage, driveway parking and gas central heating, making it practical for everyday family life.
The property is offered at auction (live online) with a guide price of £199,950; buyers should note the additional auction administration fee and that the sale will be subject to a reserve. The long lease (circa 937 years remaining) reduces typical leasehold concerns, but solicitors should confirm covenants and title details before committing.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s with double glazing added after 2002, the house presents as a solid mid‑century home with scope to update and personalise. Services have not been tested and the vendor recommends a chartered surveyor; purchasers should also consider further searches because the site is within a coal mining reporting area.
For families, the location scores well: low crime, very affluent area, good mobile coverage and several nearby “Good” rated primary and secondary schools. There is no significant flood risk, and local amenities and transport links are within easy reach. The home will suit buyers looking for immediate practicality with potential to modernise rather than a move‑in‑ready renovation-free property.
