OFFERS INVITED PRIOR TO PUBLIC AUCTION (at a date to be confirmed).
GUIDE PRICE: £350,000-£375,000.
Of interest to developers and keen owner-occupiers, we invite immediate (cash, and on strict Auction terms) offers for this well-situated, post-war THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE with garage, gas central heating and replacement double-glazing; guided to reflect the NEED FOR GENERAL UP-DATING TOGETHER WITH STRUCTURAL REPAIR (see important condition statement). Craneswater Avenue runs between Festing Road and St Helens Parade, No. 22 being on the north-west side a short distance from the former. This prime residential address is just a short level walk from The Canoe Lake and Seafront, some three-quarters of a mile only from Southsea Town Centre, and convenient to a wide range of public amenities including: leisure and recreation facilities, local shops and eateries, main-line station, and various schools. Dating from the 1950s, the property itself is of brick construction under a pitched and tiled roof, the facade incorporating square bay window and canopied front door. It stands behind a deep forecourt, whilst to the rear is a walled garden some 26ft x 17ft. A shared driveway leads to the single garage. Regarded as holding considerable potential for added value once restored, full particulars of this interesting opportunity are given as follows:

C0NDITION STATEMENT

The property will reward a programme of refurbishment throughout. In addition, SUBSIDENCE is in evidence, a Loss Adjustor's letter referring to movement, both historic and current, manifesting as cracks to plaster and brickwork, also distortion to floors and doorframes, a situation that will require in-depth investigation, monitoring, and remedial works. The Lot is presented now "as is" by the Sellers. No statement of condition will be given, it being entirely a matter for prospective bidders to satisfy themselves as to the property's structural integrity and the future action required to address is failings.
