Summary - 3 Row Beech Cottages, Watling Street, Kensworth LU6 3QT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact village cottage with garden — sold via modern auction, fees apply.
No upper chain, immediate auction sale
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Kensworth village, offered with no upper chain and immediate possession possible through auction. The cottage is modest in size but practical, with an 11ft lounge, fitted kitchen and a small rear garden described as low-maintenance. Its village setting places local amenities and good primary/secondary schools within easy reach, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for modern working needs.
Buyers should note this property will be sold via Modern Method of Auction. An undisclosed reserve price applies and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum charge applies) plus buyer’s administration costs will be payable in addition to the purchase price. Prospective purchasers must complete their own due diligence and be comfortable with the auction process and timelines.
The building is a traditional pre-1900 solid brick terrace with double glazing fitted post-2002. Heating is provided by a coal-fired boiler and radiators, and the walls are assumed to be solid brick with no cavity insulation — upgrades likely required to meet modern energy standards. The house is small internally (approximately 453 sq ft) and will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or landlords seeking a compact rental; refurbishment will improve comfort and long-term value.
Practical positives include low-maintenance rear garden, on-street parking, affordable council tax banding and no recorded flood risk. Adverse points to factor into budget include potential whole-house modernisation (heating, insulation, electrics may need updating), the auction costs and buyer fees, and a local crime rate noted as above average. Viewing and pre-purchase surveys are recommended to establish exact condition and costs before bidding.
