A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms across 816 sq ft, sold freehold and due to be auctioned. The property is offered in need of full refurbishment, making it suitable for investors seeking a renovation project or first-time buyers willing to refurbish to personalise. Sale at auction and the low asking price reflect the work required.
The house retains traditional period features externally and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas central heating. Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance vestibule, living room, kitchen and bathroom to the ground floor, with two bedrooms above and built-in storage in the main bedroom and hallway.
Location is practical for local amenities — supermarket, pubs, parks and regular bus routes to Consett and Newcastle are nearby. Schools with Good Ofsted ratings are within reach. On-street parking and a small rear yard with a brick shed provide basic outdoor space.
Be realistic about risks and costs: the property lies in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, solid brick walls likely lacking insulation, dated fittings and cosmetic and possibly deeper refurbishment needs. Auction sale, renovation work and local area factors should guide valuation and mortgage/insurance considerations.
