Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom terraced house is in Dovercourt town centre, within reach of local shops and the seafront. The accommodation includes a front lounge, a separate dining room with a feature fireplace, and a kitchen with fitted wall and base units and access to the rear garden. A bathroom is also located on the ground floor, with three bedrooms upstairs. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring modernisation, providing scope for refurbishment subject to inspection and the buyer's plans.
Outside, there is a mainly paved rear garden and a small front garden with a path to the entrance. Dovercourt Bay and its seafront facilities are nearby, while Harwich has road, rail and ferry connections. The sale uses the Modern Method of Auction, with a reservation fee and buyer information pack costs payable in addition to the purchase price; buyers should check the auction terms and carry out their own due diligence.

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £145,000, this three-bedroom Dovercourt terrace offers a clear medium-scale modernisation project, with separate lounge and dining spaces and an enclosed rear garden to build on. The dated, worn finishes create scope to refresh the interiors, while the kitchen and bathroom are particularly ready for updating; ceiling staining in the bathroom should be investigated.
The score is held back by limited condition and value evidence rather than a finding that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The listing uses the Modern Method of Auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, with the bathroom ceiling staining also checked as part of the work.
- Refresh marked or strongly patterned finishes and worn flooring across the living spaces and bedrooms.
- Improve the enclosed rear garden’s presentation, including its paved areas and weathered fencing.
