Summary - 1 STATION HOUSES NEW COUNDON BISHOP AUCKLAND DL14 8QD
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious family home on one-acre plot with garage and planning potential.
Former 19th-century station with strong period character
A rare former railway station converted into a spacious detached family home, set on roughly one acre of mature gardens and hardstanding. The property keeps much 19th-century character — high ceilings, large windows, exposed brick chimney — while offering generous reception space, a large fitted kitchen, and a long garden room that overlooks the lawn.
Practical strengths include a four-car garage (built to building regs), extensive off‑street parking, fast broadband and good road links to Durham, Darlington and Newcastle. The house previously held planning permission for commercial use, so there is scope for alternative uses or redevelopment subject to current consents.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, and the house currently has a single family bathroom for three bedrooms. Although the garage has conversion potential, any change of use or extension will require planning consent. The location is semi-rural on the outskirts of Bishop Auckland, which suits those seeking privacy but may feel isolated for some.
This property will suit families who need space and outdoor freedom, and investors or developers who can manage planning or conversion work. The combination of period character, very large plot and existing infrastructure makes it a strong proposition for someone prepared to carry out targeted upgrades or to repurpose parts of the site.
