Move-in ready starter near Bishop Auckland and scenic walking routes.
Recently refurbished throughout, move-in ready condition
Two good-sized bedrooms with natural light
Spacious fitted kitchen and modern ground-floor bathroom
Enclosed shared yard with external outhouse for storage
On-street parking only; no off-street parking or driveway
Very small plot and limited outdoor/private space
Stone walls likely uninsulated — consider energy upgrade costs
Freehold tenure with very low council tax and no flood risk
This recently refurbished two-bedroom end-terrace combines a traditional Victorian stone façade with a contemporary interior. The ground-floor living space is presented to a high standard, with a spacious kitchen, modern ground-floor bathroom and double glazing throughout, making it genuinely move-in ready for a first-time buyer.
Upstairs provides two good-sized bedrooms with natural light. External space is limited to an enclosed shared yard and a practical outhouse useful for storage or a small workshop. On-street parking sits directly outside the property; there is no private driveway.
Practical advantages include mains gas central heating, a freehold title, very low council tax and no flooding risk. Notable drawbacks are the very small plot, shared rear yard access, and that the stone-built walls are likely uninsulated (typical of the era), which may affect running costs and future improvement plans. Broadband speeds are average in the area, although mobile signal is excellent.
Located on the edge of Bishop Auckland in a small-town setting, the home is close to local shops, cafés, primary schools rated Good, and public transport links. Its affordable price point and ready condition make it suitable for buyers seeking an inexpensive starter home or a rental investment, but buyers should factor in limited outdoor space and potential insulation works.
