Description
Offered at auction, this freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace house extends to approximately 615 sq ft over two floors and is described as requiring modernisation and improvement. The ground floor has a front living room with a bay window and a kitchen with existing wall and base units, an understairs cupboard and a rear door to the outside. Upstairs are a double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom with a bath, wash basin and WC, which the listing says would benefit from updating.
The property has an enclosed rear yard with raised sections. It is in Old Whittington, with the listing noting transport links to Chesterfield and Sheffield. The EPC rating is D and the council tax band is A. Buyers should review the legal pack and check the auction terms and additional fees before bidding.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
64out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £80,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced well below the local average on a £/sqf basis, giving it a strong acquisition angle. The bay-fronted living room and enclosed rear yard add character and a useful starting point for a substantial renovation, with scope to rework the worn finishes and improve the kitchen and bathroom. The works are extensive: staining and marked surfaces appear in several internal areas, and the flooring is heavily worn. No clear major structural or roof failure is established in the available images.
The score is a C: the low entry price is attractive, but the heavy works budget tempers the overall opportunity. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- The bay window gives the front living room a distinctive feature to build into a refreshed layout.
- The dated, deteriorated kitchen and bathroom offer scope to create a more cohesive modern interior.
- The enclosed rear yard could be tidied and improved, making better use of its raised sections and hard-surfaced space.
Key risks
- Worn flooring, marked walls and staining across several internal areas, alongside the deteriorated kitchen, make the £35,000–£60,000 works budget a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
