It's going up for sale at auction next month

Want to receive the latest top stories from around Bath straight to your inbox?

Tucked away on the northern slopes of Bath, you'll find a forgotten little house that's just waiting to be loved.

Hampton View is a sleepy street with - as its name suggests - vistas of rolling countryside and you'll find this hidden gem roughly halfway down the northern terrace. At first glance, you could almost miss it.

Ivy rambles over the lower window, while the front garden-cum-jungle deters any hopeful visitors from getting too close. You might expect, therefore, that getting your hands on this treasure will be impossible.

But now is your chance. This two-bed home on Hampton View, Fairfield Park, could be yours for as little as £195,000 - a price tag almost extinct in Bath - and it's coming up for auction next month.

In return for your hard-earned cash, you will take on two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, front garden and enviable views. All this sounds too good to be true, so here's the catch.

This home needs a total revamp from top to toe. Floors, kitchen units, light fixtures - you name it, you're probably going to have to buy it. So why bother? I hear you ask.

Well, according to Right Move, house prices on Hampton View have shot up by 40 per cent from last year, with an average value of £500,000. That means that, if you spent £250,000 at auction, and £150,000 renovating it, you could still make £100,00 in profit.

This house is full of period features that just need a little love. It's obviously been there for quite a while - possibly even before electricity - and there's a fireplace in nearly every room. They're just begging to be spruced up and cherished again.

So, will you be the one to bring this little home back to life? Click here for more information and to register for the auction.
