Description

Offered at public auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house occupies a generous plot and is described as requiring comprehensive refurbishment. The ground floor is arranged with a hallway, two reception rooms, kitchen, downstairs WC and store room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the family bathroom. The property has off-road parking, a front garden and an enclosed rear garden. Both gardens are substantially overgrown and will need clearance and landscaping. The listing also notes cracks to some internal floor and wall areas, which should be investigated as part of a purchaser's assessment. Local shops, supermarkets, schools, healthcare and leisure facilities are within reach, with road and public transport links nearby. The property is freehold and has an EPC rating of D. The auction is scheduled as a public sale, with telephone, proxy and internet bidding registration also available.

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £150,000, this three-bedroom semi offers a substantial project on a generous plot, with two reception rooms, off-road parking and front and enclosed rear gardens. The available photos show poor, damaged finishes, a deteriorated kitchen, worn flooring and heavily overgrown gardens, giving a buyer scope to reshape and improve the interior and make better use of the outside space. Cracks are visible in floor and wall areas and need professional investigation; the exterior views show brick elevations and a tiled roof without obvious major failure, though their detailed condition cannot be confirmed.

The score is 45/100, grade E, reflecting the limited condition assessment and the fact that value and residual economics cannot yet be judged. Floor area is missing, so comparison with local £/sqf values is not possible. The listing is for public auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the two-reception ground floor and refresh the interior finishes to make the existing living space work better for a new owner.
  • Replace the visibly deteriorated kitchen and assess the dated bathroom fittings as part of a coordinated interior overhaul.
  • Clear and landscape the front and enclosed rear gardens, improving the setting and making the generous plot more usable.

Key risks

  • Cracks are visible in floor and wall areas; their cause and repair scope need professional investigation.
  • Stripped-back finishes, damaged flooring and substantial garden clearance make this a heavy, multi-stage programme; plan for a full interior rebuild and significant time on site, not a cosmetic refresh.
