Description

Offered at auction, this substantial detached former Post Office building includes the former commercial premises and two residential units: a one-bedroom ground-floor flat and a two-bedroom first-floor flat. The existing arrangement could be retained and modernised, or the building could potentially be reconfigured as one larger home, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. The accommodation has generous room proportions, high ceilings in parts and natural light, but requires comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment. Outside, the plot extends around the building and includes a rear garden with mature trees and planting. The outdoor areas also require clearance and improvement. The property is in the Frodingham area of Scunthorpe, with access to local amenities and the wider town. The sale is by Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period and a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum fee of £6,600 including VAT. Buyers should review the buyer information pack and auction terms before bidding.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £100,000, this detached former Post Office with two adjoining residential elements is a substantial heavy project, but the missing floor area means its value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The interiors show extensive deterioration, debris and ceiling damage or staining across several rooms, while the rear garden is overgrown; the visible exterior appears broadly standing, though some rear windows look boarded or damaged and concealed conditions need checking.

The scale of the work is also why this scores as a low-opportunity proposition overall, despite good fundamentals and location. The existing accommodation and generous proportions offer a clear canvas to modernise the property as separate flats or, subject to the necessary permissions and regulations, rework it into a substantial detached home.

Key opportunities

  • The former commercial space and two existing residential elements offer a distinctive starting point for a substantial reconfiguration, subject to permissions and regulations.
  • Large rooms and high ceilings in parts provide scope to create more cohesive, modern accommodation, either as separate flats or a single home.
  • The rear garden and outdoor space can be cleared and redesigned to complement the renewed property.

Key risks

  • Stripped-back, deteriorated interiors and ceiling damage across several rooms make this a heavy full-gut programme; plan for a substantial rebuild and extended programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
