Development opportunities are the order of the day at Sheldon Bosley Knight’s October auction.

A total of 12 lots are available at the sale at Hinckley Golf Club on Wednesday, October 22.

The star of the show will hands down be Shirley Avenue which is a prime development opportunity situated in an extremely popular area of Stoneygate, Leicester.

This traditional style, detached property, has three bedrooms, reception rooms, pantry and a lovely mature garden. It also retains much of its original character whilst offering the new owner an array of options including reconfiguration, renovation and the potential to extend subject to necessary planning permissions.

With a guide price of just £265,000, this has already had a great deal of interest and is unlikely to hang around.

There are plenty of development opportunities in this auction including 49 Lister Street, Nuneaton, a three-bed, mid-terrace with a guide price of £100,000. It requires refurbishment but is within the highly sought-after and popular residential area of the town and once finished, could provide a great buy-to-let investment.

Over in the Cheylesmore area of Coventry is a three-bed semi in Arundel Road. As well as off-street parking and a garage/workshop, it has spacious living accommodation, three bedrooms and a generously sized garden. It requires some modernisation but has a guide price of £180,000 and is a perfect development opportunity.

Also in Coventry is another property offering great potential. The two-bed end of terrace in Windmill Road has a guide price of £110,000 and once renovated could provide a great buy-to-let investment opportunity.

In addition there are a couple of showstoppers which are rare to the market including Long Barn, a Grade II listed property in Tiddington with 1.8 acres of land. It also comes with two additional bungalows which would be ideal holiday lets. It has a guide price of £960,000.

Finally, Ayrton House, in Bridge Street, Pershore, is a Grade II listed townhouse with a wealth of characterful features. It has well-proportioned accommodation and has been sympathetically improved and upgraded over three floors with a detached two-bedroom cottage to the rear offering further accommodation and a potential income. It has a guide price of £390,000 and has had a great deal of interest.

Auctioneer Samantha-Marie Parsons said: “I am very excited about this auction as there are a number of lots which will appeal to those looking for a development opportunity.

“Interest has been keen already and I am anticipating it will be a lively auction with some serious bidding.
