Large plot, strong extension potential for developers or renovators.
Freehold semi-detached house with substantial plot and open rear outlook
A substantial two-bedroom, ex-local authority semi-detached house offered for sale by public auction. The property sits on a decent plot with an open rear outlook and scope for a large two-storey rear extension — similar extensions have been carried out on neighbouring houses. The house retains the footprint of a former three-bedroom layout, giving added potential to reconfigure living space.
The home requires full refurbishment throughout: the exterior is neglected, the rear garden is overgrown and there is an existing lean-to that could be replaced. Services are mains gas with boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing (install date unknown) and an EPC rating of E. Important legal detail: the latter section of the garden is still owned by the local authority but they have indicated willingness to sell it for £4,000 subject to an overage; purchasers should consult the title plan and legal pack.
This lot is freehold and sold at public auction on Wednesday 22nd October 2025. Viewings are open-house on the published dates — no appointment necessary. Buyers should note an administration charge of £1,500 (incl. VAT) will be payable on completion and any disbursements listed in the legal pack may apply. The sale suits buyers prepared to renovate or develop for rental or resale, and those able to complete required works and legal enquiries promptly.
The house is located in a small town fringe location with easy broadband and excellent mobile signal, average local crime levels and access to nearby primary and secondary schools. There is off-street parking potential to the front and a sizeable rear garden, but be aware of the part-garden ownership issue and the renovation needs before bidding.
