Summary - 12, Pontop Street, East Rainton DH5 9RB
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable three-bedroom semi with gardens — auction sale, strong rental potential.
Chain free and sold at auction (allows quick purchase timetable)
A compact three-bedroom semi-detached house offered chain-free and to be sold at auction — an economical entry into East Rainton at an asking price of £75,000. The property provides straightforward accommodation across two floors (approx. 779 sq ft) with one family bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing. Front and rear gardens add outdoor space but are currently untidy and will need basic maintenance or landscaping.
This house suits investors or buyers looking for a manageable refurbishment project with proven rental demand in the area. The location delivers fast broadband, easy bus links and proximity to several good-rated primary schools, supporting steady tenancy prospects. Construction dates from the mid-20th century with cavity walls; no flood risk is recorded and tenure is freehold.
Auction sale means a quick completion timetable and requires buyers to allow for auction terms and planning for any renovation. Plot and overall size are small, so value is driven by location and rental potential rather than generous living space. Council Tax band A keeps ongoing costs low.
Practical considerations: the exterior shows wear and the gardens need attention; buyers should budget for cosmetic updating and to check services before purchase. For those willing to refurbish, the property presents an affordable, low-entry investment or first home in a quiet small-town setting.
