Auction Appraiser Paul Wood said: “This one really took off with 81 bids from eight bidders driving up the final sale price to £85,000 above the original guide price.
“Our bidders recognised the potential in the property although it requires improvement throughout.
“We considered that once improvement works have been carried out, this property would make an excellent home for owner-occupation or could be let to generate a good income.”

The property has a gas heating system via radiators. There is a driveway leading to a garage and gardens to the front and rear.
