This three-bedroom, freehold town house (approx. 646 sq ft) offers a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer, owner-occupier or investor prepared for light-to-medium refurbishment. Built between 1930–1949, the property has gas central heating, part double glazing and an EPC rating of D. It is sold chain-free and will be offered at auction on 18th September 2025.
The house has practical layout: ground-floor entrance, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a small inner hall with WC, with three bedrooms on the first floor. The plot is small but useable: front area providing off-street car standing and a larger rear garden with a timber shed — the exterior shows overgrown areas that will need clearing and basic maintenance. Internally there are mid-century features (fireplace, stained glass) and relatively low ceilings; rooms are a modest size throughout.
Significant positives include vacant possession on completion, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for renters or home workers — and nearby amenities and well-regarded local schools. Rent is estimated at approximately £1,250 pcm after works, so the house can suit investors seeking rental yield once refurbished.
Important considerations: the property is a renovation project. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation; glazing install dates are unknown. The EPC D rating and probable need for modernisation mean buyers should budget for improvements (insulation, possible refurbishment of heating, cosmetic and garden works). An administration charge of 1% + VAT of the purchase price will also be collected by the seller on completion. Completion is required within eight weeks of exchange.
