Detached Victorian brickwork to rear of Hillchurch Street alley access
A compact detached Victorian property offered for refurbishment and sale by auction. Priced at £20,000 and freehold, the house sits to the rear of Hillchurch Street, accessed down an alley between numbers 71 and 73, with a small yard to the front. Accommodation is described as a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and an ensuite.
This is a clear renovation project: the property requires complete refurbishment throughout. The kitchen is derelict with damp, mould and floor and wall damage; general decoration, services and likely structural checks will be needed. The location is in a very deprived, high-crime urban area, so factor security and rental/ resale considerations into any plan.
For the right buyer — an investor or experienced renovator — the lot offers low entry cost and period brickwork with potential to reconfigure or modernise. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and local amenities and schools are close by. The property will be sold at auction; successful bidders must pay deposit and fees immediately and should review the legal pack for buyer’s premium and additional disbursements.
This is a high-risk, high-potential purchase: realistic budgeting for repairs, possible remedial works and short- to medium-term management are essential. Viewings may be limited; buying without a full inspection carries additional risk.
