Pugh Auctions’ listing states: “With accommodation over four floors, the property would benefit from reconfiguration to realise its true potential. The lower ground floor has a separate entrance and features two rooms which could be pivotal to turning this project into a success.

“To the second floor, there is a useful loft/storage room with Velux window and staircase.

"Whether you’re looking to renovate to sell on, or convert into an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), this is sure to appeal to a variety of investors.”

Bidding opens Tuesday April 23 and closes the following day.
