Description

Offered at auction by the Modern Method of Sale, this two-bedroom mid-terrace house is being sold with no onward chain and requires modernisation and upgrading. Its ground floor has two separate reception rooms, a kitchen with an adjoining storage area, and access to a cellar. The first floor provides two bedrooms and a bathroom. The cellar offers additional storage, with any alternative use subject to checks on suitability and permissions. Outside, the property has an enclosed yard with gated access. The listing states that mains electricity, water and drainage are connected, and that the tenure is freehold. Buyers should note the Modern Method of Sale reservation period and associated buyer information pack and reservation fee, and review the auction terms before proceeding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £300,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced at £266/sq ft against a local average of £440, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The two separate reception rooms, cellar and enclosed rear yard give the project useful character and scope, while the interiors offer a substantial canvas for a full modernisation. The cellar’s staining and deterioration need investigation before deciding how to repair or use that space.

The overall WHOTS score is 74/100, a Good Opportunity: the low price and strong value case are balanced by the scale of the work. It is offered through the Modern Method of Auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Use the two separate reception rooms to create flexible living and dining spaces that suit a modern layout.
  • The dated kitchen and bathroom, older finishes and flooring provide a clear canvas for a coordinated whole-house update.
  • The cellar and enclosed rear yard add useful storage and outdoor space; investigate the cellar before settling on its repair or use.

Key risks

  • The cellar has staining, deteriorated surfaces and debris, so investigate the cause and condition before defining the work.
  • Older finishes across several rooms, alongside the kitchen and bathroom, make this a substantial multi-room programme; plan for a full interior modernisation rather than a cosmetic refresh.
