Boasting multiple entrance routes, versatile reception rooms, and an enclosed rear garden, the property represents an ideal blank canvas with high rental yield potential once renovated. The ground floor layout is exceptionally practical, starting with a primary entrance hallway featuring light gray painted brick-effect walls and durable tiled flooring. This corridor provides direct access to a functional storage cupboard and a separate ground-floor WC, which features retro light blue wall tiling and a privacy window. A secondary entrance hallway serves as an alternative access point from the front of the property, steering you directly to the carpeted staircase. The lounge offers a bright, inviting space centered around a traditional dark wood fireplace surround with a marble-effect hearth, finished with modern wood-effect laminate flooring. The layout is completed by a good-sized kitchen fitted with traditional wooden cabinetry and space for freestanding appliances, leading directly out to a rear porch that acts as a practical utility transition zone straight into the low-maintenance, fully enclosed paved rear garden. Upstairs, the first floor boasts three versatile bedrooms branching off a central landing area. Bedroom one and bedroom two are spacious doubles featuring practical neutral decor, with bedroom one offering a framed alcove ready for a custom built-in wardrobe and bedroom two displaying a contrasting light blue accent wall. The third bedroom is a comfortable single room, presenting an ideal space for a nursery, dressing room, or a dedicated home office layout. Serving the upper level is a practical family bathroom fitted with a classic three-piece white suite—including a panelled bath with a wall-mounted electric shower—complemented by low-maintenance wood-effect flooring and fully tiled walls.

Addendum Check the latest addendum at the Butters John Bee website for any alterations or changes to the catalogue Guide Price An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Reserve The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Proof of Identity To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, on acceptance of an offer for purchase or letting, the buyer or prospective tenant will be required to provide identification to Butters John Bee.
