A BUNGALOW needing modernisation on the outskirts of Clacton went under the auctioneer’s gavel this week.

It was among 141 lots in the latest auction held by Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

The detached property in St Johns Road was sold for £222,000 with vacant possession at the firm’s auction which ended on Wednesday.

It was offered jointly with Paveys.

Director and auctioneer Paul Bridgeman said: “We considered that although needing some modernisation and improvement, this two-bedroom bungalow was full of potential.

“Our bidders could see that the property was ready for redevelopment or extension, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.”
