Description

Offered at auction, this freehold semi-detached house is described as having three bedrooms, although the supplied structured details record two. The ground floor is arranged with a kitchen, living room and WC, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is vacant and is stated to require refurbishment. The house has a rear garden and off-street parking. It is on an established residential road around half a mile from Mansfield town centre, the railway station and the Four Seasons Shopping Centre. Local shops, schools, the hospital and road links including the A38 and A60 are also noted nearby. The auction is scheduled for 10 December 2026 at Nottingham Racecourse. Buyers should check the legal pack and confirm the accommodation details before bidding.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £150,000, this three-bedroom semi offers a medium-scale project close to Mansfield town centre, the station and local shops, with off-street parking and a rear garden. The photos show scope to refresh dated finishes, update the kitchen and bathroom, and improve the neglected garden; substantial wall-finish damage in one bedroom also needs investigation. The exterior views show no obvious major failure, though they cannot confirm the roof’s condition.

The score is held back by limited condition and value evidence rather than a finding that the price is too high: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The listing is being sold by auction at a guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated living spaces and flooring, and address the extensive wall-finish damage visible in one bedroom.
  • Modernise the older kitchen and bathroom to give the house a more current feel.
  • Restore the rear garden by clearing overgrowth and improving the paving, fencing and sheds.

Key risks

  • The cause and extent of the substantial wall-finish damage in one bedroom are not evident from the photos and should be checked.
  • The roof’s condition cannot be confirmed from the available exterior views.
  • The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
