Description
auction date: Tuesday 28th July 2026

An exciting opportunity to acquire a three bedroom detached property positioned on Victoria Avenue within the highly desirable village of Ockbrook. Set back from the road, the home occupies a private and generous plot extending to approximately 1/3 of an acre, subject to measured survey, offering both seclusion and significant potential.

The property requires a scheme of modernisation but presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking to add value through refurbishment or explore redevelopment possibilities, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Offered for sale with vacant possession, the property provides flexibility for both owner occupiers and investors alike.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen and conservatory to the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a shower room to the first floor. Externally, there are gardens to both the front and rear, together with a garage. The property benefits from a right of access over the driveway leading from Victoria Avenue.

The location is particularly well placed for access to major road networks including the A38, A50, A52 and M1, providing convenient links to Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham and beyond. This combination of a generous plot, private setting and development potential makes this a rare opportunity within a highly regarded village setting.

Conditions Of Sale
The Conditions of Sale will be deposited at the offices of the auctioneers and vendor's solicitors seven days prior to sale and the purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of the same whether inspected or not.

Health & Safety Advice
Whilst the auctioneers make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at lots, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of the lots in our auction and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers. All persons attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds, outbuildings and boundaries. All unaccompanied inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers' risk.

Guide And Reserve Prices
Guide Price: An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

Note
The auctioneers offer four ways to bid including internet, telephone, proxy, and live room bidding.
