A detached four-bedroom house in a "highly sought-after suburb" is set to be auctioned, being described as the perfect property for a renovation project.

The vacant property at 475 Winchester Road will go under the hammer this month with a guide price of £390,000 to £410,000.

Described as "very worthy of the works required", Clive Emson Auctioneers say that the house is in "need of some updating and refurbishment" to get it up to scratch.

Michael Marchant, a senior auction appraiser for the firm, based regionally at Whiteley, said: “Situated in the highly sought-after suburb of Bassett towards the north of Southampton, this detached property benefits from off-road parking, a rear garden and four double bedrooms.

“Although in need of some updating and refurbishment, the property is considered worthy of the works required following which it is considered ideally suited for resale into the local private treaty market.”
