Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom freehold home in Barlestone was originally part of a single private dwelling before being divided into two properties around 40 years ago. The accommodation described includes an entrance hall, lounge, separate sitting room and a kitchen with fitted units, space for appliances and room for a table. The listing also refers to a rear lobby and first-floor landing. The property is in Council Tax Band B.
The sale is through the Modern Method of Auction, with a reservation fee and buyer information pack charges applying. Buyers should review the pack and establish the legal and practical implications of the historic division, as well as undertaking their own checks before proceeding. The separate reception rooms and existing layout provide scope to update the interiors, subject to inspection and the buyer’s plans.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £135,000, this two-bedroom semi offers a usable starting point rather than a major rescue project: the two reception rooms are intact, and the established rear garden is a clear plus. The main value-add is a light cosmetic refresh—updating the dated finishes across several rooms, with scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom while keeping the work contained. The indicative renovation range is £5,000–£13,000.
The overall score is D, with the opportunity tempered by incomplete value data rather than evidence that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The listing says the property was split from a single dwelling around 40 years ago, so buyers should check the relevant property documents and arrangements as part of their due diligence.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated wallpaper, ceiling finishes and flooring across the reception rooms and bedrooms.
- Modernise the usable kitchen and bathroom with updated finishes and fittings.
- Make the most of the two separate reception rooms and established rear garden.
