A spacious three-bedroom mid-terraced house with period bay windows and original high ceilings, offered freehold and chain-free. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas central heating with a combi boiler, and roughly 902 sq ft of accommodation including attic access — good scope for adding value. Located close to Timothy Hackworth Primary School and local shops, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, it suits buyers wanting quick access to Bishop Auckland and nearby towns.
This home has been updated to provide practical living: an extended kitchen with modern units and a wet-room style shower/toilet at the rear, plus a first-floor bathroom with a bath. The master bedroom has built-in mirror-fronted wardrobes and attic stairs, offering extra storage or conversion potential (subject to consents). A small front garden and modest rear plot require low maintenance.
Notable drawbacks are material and cost implications tied to the auction sale format. This property is sold by Modern Method of Auction — the buyer must pay a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. Auction completion is required within 56 days. The house is described as dated in parts and will need cosmetic updating in rooms such as the living room; there is no indication of major structural defect but purchasers should instruct surveys and confirm mortgage suitability before bidding.
Buyers should also weigh local context: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and an industrious transitions profile. For investors or buyers prepared to renovate, the low guide price and practical layout present a clear opportunity to create rental stock or a comfortable family home, but factor in refurbishment costs and auction-related charges when calculating returns or budgets.
