This Victorian stone mid-terrace offers solid period character and sensible living space across three bedrooms. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces provide a strong base for someone wanting to restore charm while creating a comfortable family home. A double garage and off-street parking are practical assets seldom found with terraces in this area.
The property requires modernisation throughout: the EPC D rating, assumed uninsulated solid stone walls, and an older heating system mean investment is needed to improve efficiency and comfort. The layout spans multiple floors including an adapted roofspace with dormer accommodation, giving flexibility for growing households or phased renovations.
Set on a main street in Coundon, Bishop Auckland, the wider area is very deprived with above-average crime rates and an endeavouring local community. That context affects resale speed and values but also brings lower entry pricing and very low council tax. Nearby schools are rated Good, and broadband speeds and mobile signal are adequate for everyday needs.
This house suits first-time buyers or investors willing to take on a refurbishment project to unlock value. If you want period features to restore and don’t require a move-in-ready home, this property presents an affordable opportunity to create a stylish, characterful family home with practical parking and a rare double garage.
