Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom end-terraced house has a lounge, separate dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and access to an attic above. The listing describes the property as requiring modernisation and notes that the attic may offer scope for further use, subject to the necessary consents. A tenant is currently in place, so buyers should establish the tenancy arrangements and access before proceeding.
The property is mostly double glazed and has gas central heating, according to the listing. It is in Harrowgate Hill, within walking distance of local amenities and North Road Train Station. Outside, there is an enclosed rear yard. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period, buyer information pack and a non-refundable reservation fee; buyers should review the auction terms and fees before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial renovation project with a useful starting point: separate living spaces, gas central heating and mostly double glazing, plus the possibility of exploring an attic room subject to the necessary consents. The photographed interiors are worn, with extensive staining and deterioration in the kitchen, and the attic and rear finishes also need investigation. The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the project’s scale; the cause of the kitchen staining and the condition of the attic lining and rear structure should be checked before setting the scope.
At £32,000, the price-to-value picture cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The listing is being sold by auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the separate lounge and dining room to make better use of the living space.
- Explore the attic’s potential for an additional room, subject to the necessary consents.
- Replace the heavily deteriorated kitchen and improve the enclosed rear yard as part of a broader modernisation.
Key risks
- The worn interiors, heavily stained kitchen, unfinished attic and deteriorated rear finishes point to a £35,000–£65,000 full-project budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Investigate the cause of the extensive kitchen staining and check the attic lining and rear structure before defining the works.
