Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is set on a generous plot in north-west Macclesfield, with countryside within walking distance. The accommodation includes a through lounge of over 20 feet, three bedrooms and a bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are stated features. The kitchen has been started but is not finished, and a separate storage room may offer scope to create another reception room. The rear garden is described as enclosed, with lawn and a flagged patio, while a driveway provides off-road parking. Extension potential is mentioned, subject to the necessary permissions and feasibility checks. The property is being sold by public auction, with remote bidding available subject to registration. Buyers should review the legal pack and auction conditions, including the buyer administration fee and completion timetable, before bidding. Macclesfield offers shops, schools and leisure facilities, with rail links to Manchester and London.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £250,000, the guide price works out at about £247 per sq ft, around 18% below the local average—a useful entry point for a buyer looking to add value. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

There is a clear medium-scale project here: the spacious through lounge and three-bedroom layout offer a solid canvas for refreshed décor and flooring, while the fitted kitchen needs finishing and has a visible ceiling opening. The large rear garden also has scope to be brought back into use. The £18,000–£35,000 renovation range gives an indication of the work involved; the storage-room conversion and any extension remain possibilities to investigate rather than established value.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated décor and worn-looking flooring across the observed living and bedroom areas.
  • Finish and make good the fitted kitchen, including investigating the visible ceiling opening.
  • Clear and improve the substantial rear garden and weathered patio; the listing also identifies a storage room as a possible additional reception space, subject to feasibility.

Key risks

  • The kitchen ceiling opening and unfinished work need inspection to establish the extent of making-good required.
  • The heavily overgrown garden and weathered patio will need clearance and maintenance.
