Description
Offered at auction, this detached three-bedroom house in Portslade Old Village measures approximately 1,288 sq ft and is described as requiring modernisation and improvement. The accommodation includes a sitting room, dining room, sun room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC. There is also a rear garden, an outbuilding and a garage, with access via a shared driveway and additional hardstanding.
The sale is being conducted online, with a legal pack and structural report available for prospective buyers to review. The property is in the Portslade Conservation Area, so buyers should make their own enquiries about the implications for any proposed works. Mains gas, electricity, water and sewerage are stated as connected. Spencer & Leigh advise interested parties to inspect the legal pack and complete their own legal and financial checks before bidding.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £295,000, this substantial 1,289 sq ft detached house is offered at about £229 per sq ft, well below the local average of £431. That makes the asking price a strong acquisition point for a buyer looking to modernise and add value. The dated finishes and worn flooring across several rooms, plus the overgrown garden, give the project a clear scope; the fitted kitchen and serviceable-looking shower room and WC provide a starting point rather than a blank slate.
The sun room wall cracking is the main specific issue to investigate, particularly as the listing advises buyers to review the structural report. The supplied exterior views show a tiled roof without obvious major failure. The house is being sold by online auction at a guide price: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- The below-local £/sq ft asking price offers an attractive entry point for a buyer prepared to modernise.
- Refresh dated decoration and worn floor coverings across several rooms to give the house a more cohesive, updated feel.
- Tackle the dry, overgrown rear garden and make better use of the substantial outbuilding.
Key risks
- Cracking to the sun room wall should be investigated alongside the structural report, with repairs scoped once its cause is understood.
