This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Surtees Street offers straightforward, affordable living in the heart of Bishop Auckland. The layout includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a compact kitchen, giving practical space for a small family, couple or investor looking for rental potential. Excellent public transport links and nearby schools, shops and the A688 make everyday life convenient.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a rear enclosed yard with gated access. It is freehold, of traditional Victorian build, and provides clear scope for cosmetic updating to add value. On-street parking is available to the front and the overall footprint is a usable urban size (approximately 892 sq ft).
Buyers should note the solid brick walls were built pre-1930 and are assumed uninsulated; the EPC is grade D. The house shows signs of age and will need modernization in places — cosmetic work, possible damp prevention and improved insulation are likely. The area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth but supports strong rental demand and low council tax costs.
Overall this home suits first-time buyers wanting an affordable move-in with improvements to personalize, or investors seeking a centrally located rental with uplift potential after refurbishment. The position near amenities, schools and transport is a practical selling point for either market.
