Summary - 11 GAINSBOROUGH COURT BISHOP AUCKLAND DL14 7QA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-cost flat with long lease and parking—suits investors or single occupants.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor apartment
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Bishop Auckland’s town centre, offered with an exceptionally long lease (circa 965 years). The flat sits on the first floor of a purpose-built brick block and includes an allocated off-street parking bay, double glazing and an efficient one-bedroom layout that suits single occupants or tenants.
The property is presented in tidy, move-in condition with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary shower room and electric storage heaters. EPC is recorded as Grade C. Low annual service charge (circa £879) and council tax band A keep running costs modest, improving lettability and cashflow for investors.
Buyers should note the flat is small (c. 356 sq ft) and offers limited private outdoor space, so it’s best suited to singles, couples or as a rental/holiday let rather than a family home. Heating is electric rather than gas, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the locality records a high crime rate—factors that will influence tenant profiles and pricing.
There is historic mining in the area; a mining search is recommended as part of conveyancing. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance central leasehold apartment with long-term lease security, clear rental potential, and predictable running costs for an investor or first-time buyer prepared for modest living space.
