Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom period home has approximately 1,149 sq ft of accommodation over two floors and is vacant. The property retains original period details and includes a rear garden with side access. It is described as requiring modernisation.

Attic conversion is also mentioned as a possibility, subject to the necessary consents. The house is freehold, with an EPC rating of D, and is close to Gloucester Road, Cheltenham Road and St Andrews Park. Auction buyers should note the stated buyer’s premium and completion timetable, and review the legal pack before bidding.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £400,000, this period home is offered at £348/sq ft, around 30% below the local average—a strong entry-price opportunity in St Andrews, close to Gloucester Road and St Andrews Park. Its bay-fronted character, original details, mature garden and side access give the project a good starting point, while the dated interiors and visible bathroom ceiling damage leave plenty of scope to make it your own. The ceiling damage needs investigation, and the garden would benefit from attention.
The listing is an auction, so this is a guide price rather than a guaranteed purchase price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The description also suggests possible rear reconfiguration and an attic conversion, both subject to the necessary consents.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and update the compact kitchen and older bathroom fittings to create a more cohesive home.
- Explore the suggested rear reconfiguration to connect kitchen and dining space with the mature garden, subject to consents.
- Bay-fronted period character, original details, side access and the garden provide a distinctive base for a substantial whole-house project.
Key risks
- The larger bathroom has extensive ceiling staining and damaged finish; investigate the cause and extent before planning the work.
- This is a substantial multi-room programme, not a cosmetic refresh: allow for coordinated interior upgrades, garden clearance and time to manage the project.
