Two-bed auction project close to Saltwell Park — long lease, needs modernisation.
Ground-floor two-bed flat in Victorian terrace, 665 sq ft
This two-bedroom ground-floor flat on Brinkburn Avenue offers a low-entry opportunity close to Saltwell Park and local amenities. Set in a Victorian terrace, the home retains period features such as fireplaces and ceiling coving, giving a solid base for a sympathetic refurbishment.
The property requires full updating throughout — the kitchen is basic and dated, and renovation is needed to modernise living spaces. It is offered for sale by online auction (unconditional) with bidding ending 16th October 2025 at 12pm, so buyers should be prepared for a quick, cash-or-mortgage-ready completion under auction terms.
Practical positives include a long lease (963 years), modest running costs (Council Tax Band A), a shared rear yard, and good digital connectivity (excellent mobile, fast broadband). Notable negatives are the need for renovation, an EPC rating to be confirmed, and the local area’s higher-than-average crime and deprivation metrics — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
