This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Runcorn Road is a chain-free, auction lot suited to a hands-on buyer. The house offers practical living space across two storeys — lounge/diner, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom, and a paved rear garden with workshop. Off-street parking and a boarded insulated loft add useful, low-cost benefits for a buyer preparing to renovate.
The property requires refurbishment throughout: cosmetic updating, modernisation of fittings, and general redecoration. Heating is gas boiler with radiators and the windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). The home is offered freehold with an EPC rating of D and a compact footprint of approximately 632 sq ft, so budget and scope should be checked against the guide price and auction fees.
Sold at auction (Guide Price £125,000+), the sale will be unconditional on the day. Bidders must allow for the non-refundable buyer’s fee (4.8% min £6,000) and a 5% deposit (min £5,000). The location suits first-time buyers or small-scale investors looking for a value refurbishment project near schools and local amenities, but be realistic about costs given the area’s higher crime and marked deprivation.
Viewing and due diligence are essential: expect to consult the legal pack and check services, fixtures, and any repair needs before bidding. The house’s size and straightforward layout make it a practical starter or rental property once improved.
