The property is a mid‑20th century system-built construction that may benefit from insulation and energy-efficiency improvements. Internally it presents as a tidy, dated home that will suit buyers willing to update cosmetic finishes.
Overall, this is a low-cost-entry freehold home with clear potential for improvement and rental or owner-occupier use. The practical garden, garage and nearby schools are strong positives for families or investors prepared for the auction process and possible refurbishment.
