This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Hopewell Gardens offers straightforward living on a decent plot with a sizeable garden and recent roof replacement. At about 924 sq ft, the layout is traditional with a separate lounge, dining room and kitchen, plus an upstairs bathroom and separate WC. Double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators are already in place, reducing immediate outlay for heating and windows.
The garden is a real asset: raised lawns, purpose-built sheds and an outside WC create practical outdoor space for families or tenants. The property’s elevated position gives pleasant outlooks from the front rooms, and the interior footprint would allow a knock-through kitchen-diner or other improvements to increase living space and rental value. The house will appeal to buyers wanting a project with good bones and a clear scope for improvement.
Buyers must be aware this is a sale by auction under the Modern Method of Auction. Completion is required within 56 days, and there are non-refundable fees: a buyer information pack cost and a Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,000) payable on exchange. These costs are additional to the purchase price and should be factored into budgets and mortgage plans.
The immediate area has strong transport links and proximity to local employers, but it is classed as a very deprived and high-crime neighbourhood with ‘hampered’ local-area indicators. The house is system-built with assumed no wall insulation and will likely need improvements to fabric and insulation to reach modern standards. For first-time buyers or investors comfortable with an auction purchase, this offers an affordable entry or a refurb opportunity with clear value drivers and predictable work needed.
