Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom semi-detached house in Countesthorpe has an entrance porch, an open-plan lounge and dining area, a kitchen, lobby, family bathroom and an additional study room. The listing also describes a large private rear garden and notes access to village amenities, schools and transport links.
The property is offered with scope for improvement. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale. Buyers should review the legal pack and bidder terms, check the applicable fees and make their own enquiries, as the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. The tenure is freehold and the stated EPC rating is E.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This two-bedroom semi in popular Countesthorpe has a clear improvement canvas: the open-plan lounge/diner is usable, while dated finishes, worn floor coverings and marked walls offer scope for a coordinated refresh. The older kitchen and distinctive blue-tiled bathroom could be modernised, and clearing the overgrown rear garden would help reveal its layout and potential. The maintained-looking frontage is a positive starting point. The estimated works are £35,000–£65,000, placing the purchase plus renovation midpoint at £185,000, though the overall opportunity scores low at 49/100 (E). The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
This is being sold by auction, so the figure is a guide price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, meaning the eventual price may not stay as low. Check the legal pack and auction fees before bidding.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the open-plan lounge/diner, including its marked walls, feature wall and flooring.
- Modernise the older kitchen and distinctive blue-tiled bathroom to create a more current finish.
- Clear the overgrown rear garden to reveal its usable layout and improve the outdoor space.
