Ashville Gardens, Halifax, HX2 0PJ

At £80,000, this detached two-bedroom house is priced at about £105 per sq ft against a local average of £213, making the asking price a standout opportunity to acquire well below the local benchmark. The stone exterior and roof coverings show no obvious major failure in the available views, while the generous front and rear gardens add scope to improve the setting.

Inside, worn and damaged finishes across several rooms, a visibly damaged kitchen and a dated bathroom make this a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh. There is plenty of scope to reshape the interiors to your taste and tackle the gardens as part of a full improvement programme. The sale is by modern method of auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
