This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Efford Lane is offered chain-free and sold at auction, presenting an accessible entry point for first-time buyers or small families. The house sits on a substantial corner plot with a front courtyard, side and rear gardens, and a concrete driveway — providing outdoor space and clear potential for extension subject to planning permission.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a medium-sized living room, kitchen and family bathroom on the ground floor, with three small-to-medium bedrooms upstairs. The property was built around 1976–1982 and has double glazing fitted after 2002; heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The house is sold empty and ready for refurbishment to bring finishes up to a buyer’s taste.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the sale uses the Modern Method of Auction requiring completion within 56 days of sale, and the successful bidder must purchase a Buyer Information Pack (£349 including VAT) before bidding. The area is classed as deprived with average crime and a local profile of renting, hard-pressed workers; nearby schools include several with Good Ofsted ratings.
For buyers willing to work on cosmetic and possibly layout updates, the plot and location offer genuine upside — either to create more internal space or to improve value through refurbishment. Make sure to inspect with your lender if financing, and review the auction paperwork carefully before bidding.
