This three-bedroom end-of-terrace freehold in Sleaford is a low-priced renovation opportunity with no onward chain. The house requires full modernisation throughout but offers practical spaces: a 17' lounge with French doors, a kitchen, downstairs wet room plus a separate bathroom, and a detached garage. Double glazing and mains gas heating are already in place.
The plot includes a decent rear garden, providing scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). At about 730 sq ft overall, the property is compact and suited to buyers prepared to update fixtures, finishes and services. There is a current offer of £140,000 subject to contract; higher offers must be submitted before legal exchange.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the house sits in a deprived area with very high recorded crime and needs modernisation throughout. The small overall size and mid-20th century construction limit immediate space, and services/appliances have not been tested — a survey is strongly recommended. Council tax is very low, and local schools include several with Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings.
This home will suit first-time buyers or hands-on renovators seeking an affordable starter property near town amenities and schools. It also has potential for an investor willing to refurbish and let, subject to local market considerations and safety/security improvements.
