Monmouth Road, North End, PO2

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION 25 MAY 2023. (UNLESS SOLD PREVIOUSLY)
GUIDE PRICE:  £200,000-£210,000.
OF INTEREST TO BUILDERS & INVESTORS, this conveniently situated, extended FOUR BEDROOM FAMILY HOUSE, modernised in the past but NOW REQUIRING REFURBISHMENT. An excellent investment opportunity in particular.  Monmouth Road runs between Derby Road and London Avenue, No. 9 being on the west side a short distance from the former. Flanked by Stamshaw Road and the main London Road, this is a pleasant residential address enjoying ready access to a wide range of public amenities, including:  motorway link, Alexandra Park, bus services, local shops and various schools.  This inner terrace, late-Victorian property features rendered elevations under a modern tiled roof with front and rear dormers, the re-modelled facade incorporating shallow bow window. It stands behind a walled forecourt, whilst to the rear is a 37ft garden with westerly aspect and pedestrian access. The subject of relatively recent alteration and improvement (including contemporary upstairs bathroom, replacement double-glazing, central heating and the useful loft conversion for which consent was granted in 1994), the house will now reward a programme of refurbishment throughout including attention to its fire-damaged kitchen. It is considered, once renovated, to be well-suited to owner-occupation or to lucrative letting (having a potential return of around £1,200 p.c.m.). Full details are given as follows:
