Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house in Long Buckby has approximately 749 sq ft of accommodation and is described as requiring modernisation. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, a sitting room with a fireplace and stairs to the first floor, and a kitchen with fitted units, appliance spaces and French doors opening onto the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over. Outside, the front garden is mainly lawn, while the enclosed rear garden includes artificial grass, a timber shed and access to rear off-street parking. The property has a gas supply, but it is currently disconnected. The sale is through Mustard Online Auction powered by Bamboo Auctions, with the auction and legal pack information available online. The existing layout and accommodation provide a starting point for a buyer considering modernisation; the scope of work and services should be checked before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

66out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £175,000, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is priced at £234/sq ft, around 26% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire at a below-average price. The medium-scale project is visible in the dated finishes, worn kitchen and patchy wall surfaces, giving a buyer scope to modernise and refresh the interiors. The enclosed rear garden, parking and broadly intact-looking roof and brickwork add to the appeal. It is being sold by online auction: bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the worn kitchen and improve its unfinished-looking wall and floor surfaces.
  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the living areas and bedrooms.
  • Clear and tidy the gardens, making better use of the enclosed rear space and rear parking.

Key risks

  • The gas supply is currently disconnected, so reconnection and service checks will need to be factored into the project.
