Fantastic opportunity to purchase this 2 bedroom semi-detached house in popular Foxhill area of Bath now in need of modernisation and updating throughout. Excellent for first-time buyers looking to stamp their own mark on a their first home or as a great investment due to high demand for 2 bedroom rental houses in Bath. Non-standard construction.
Situation & Description
Queens Drive is located at the top of Fox Hill in Combe Down, some 2 miles south of the city centre and enjoys a fantastic location close to local amenities on Bradford Road including the hub at Mulberry Park which offers a cafe and community centre.
The city centre can be easily accessed on foot (albeit a steep downhill slope) via the protected green spaces of Perrymead which feels like a country walk but with the benefit of being in the city. Combe Down, Prior Park National Park and Rainbow Woods are all within walking distance so it couldn't be better placed for the city and surrounding countryside. The house is also within the catchment area of 3 well-respected schools in the area.
Bath is well connected to the rest of the UK via mainline routes to Bristol, Bournemouth and London Paddington with a vast selection of shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and leisure facilities as well as home to the renowned Bath Rugby at The Recreational Ground.
The house is now in need of updating and modernisation giving the incoming buyer a chance to stamp their own mark on it whether they wish to live in it as a first home, downsize from a larger house on Foxhill or rent it out as an AST or as a holiday let - it genuinely is a great opportunity for someone to own a piece of Bath for less than £200,000.
It is our belief that the property is made of Precast Reinforced Concrete (PRC) which are deemed as non-standard or non-traditional construction properties. However, in many cases, you are able to find a lender to provide a mortgage so please speak with your broker or one of the auction team for more details as we have specialists who will be able to help advise.
Accommodation
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Living Room, Kitchen/Dining Room
First Floor: 2 x Double Bedrooms and Family Bathroom
Outside there is a front and rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with outbuilding and backing onto open grassland.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
