WITH the UK’s average house price having increased by £6,000 in the past year, one home in Hampshire offers a more cost-effective solution.

This three-bedroom end of terrace house in Gosport is up for auction with a guide price of just £50,000, well under the average UK house price of £256,000.

Excluding shared ownership arrangements, this property on Magennis Close, Gosport, is the cheapest house on the market in Hampshire.

Whilst the end of terrace house is requiring modernisation, it could be the perfect home for first time buyers who want to take on a project.

The ground floor benefits from a lounge, kitchen/dining area that leads to a rear garden and study/bedroom.
