This Victorian end-terrace offers generous family accommodation with an open outlook over fields on the rural edge of Consett. The house has two reception rooms, a contemporary bathroom, and a boarded loft with Velux windows — ready for conversion subject to consents. Period stone elevations, high ceilings in the living room and later UPVC double glazing combine character with practical upgrades.
The property is offered freehold at public online auction (guide price £150,000). Buyers should note the auction administration fee of £2,400 (including VAT) and that the seller may set a reserve price up to 10% above the guide. The garage is included but currently has a partitioned stud wall and the plot is modest in size.
Practical details: mains gas central heating via a combination boiler, low flood risk, fast broadband in the area and low local crime. There are restrictive covenants on title and the walls are likely original stone without modern cavity insulation — a survey is recommended to check thermal performance and any historic mining-related issues. Council Tax band is low (Band B).
This home suits a family seeking character and space near good local schools, or an investor looking for a workable period property with straightforward heating, double glazing and conversion potential in the loft. Expect routine maintenance typical of older stone homes and factor in the auction process when budgeting.
