Summary - 52 HIGH HOPE STREET CROOK DL15 9JB
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free mid-terrace with tenant in situ, sold at auction — immediate rental income potential..
Sold via online auction, starting bid £60,000
A three-bedroom mid-terrace arranged over three floors, offered for sale via online auction with a starting bid of £60,000. The property is chain-free and sold with a tenant in situ paying £550 pcm, making it immediately income-producing for a buyer who wants rental return from day one.
The house retains period character such as a rustic brick fireplace and wood burner, original room proportions and an attic bedroom. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating (a new boiler is being fitted on 11th September 2025 with a seven-year warranty), double glazing installed pre-2002, and an EPC rating of D.
Issues to note: the property requires modernisation throughout — dated fittings, wallpaper and finishes — and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation. The plot is small with a rear yard and an enclosed garden accessed over the service lane. Sold at auction and with a tenant in place, viewing is by appointment and buyers should factor auction terms, tenant arrangements and renovation costs into their offer.
This will suit an investor looking for a low-entry purchase in a small-town location, or a buyer prepared to refurbish for improved rental yield or resale. Nearby schools are rated Good, local amenities are within walking distance, and broadband and mobile signals are strong in the area.
