Set on a large plot in a sought-after village near Durham, this detached four-double-bedroom house offers expansive front and rear views and flexible living space. The ground floor provides two reception rooms, kitchen, cloakroom and entrance vestibule; upstairs are four double bedrooms and a single large family bathroom. A larger-than-average garage and front/rear gardens add practical space for parking and outdoor life.
The property requires cosmetic updating and general renovation, giving a buyer scope to reconfigure and add modern finishes. It is offered Freehold via the Modern Method of Auction: successful bidders must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and complete within 56 days. A Buyer Information Pack is available for a fee and should be reviewed before bidding.
Location is a key strength: short drives to Durham City and the A1(M), excellent mobile signal, average broadband and two well-regarded independent schools nearby. Note practical considerations: single bathroom for four bedrooms, council tax is above average, the local area records higher crime and the property is described as needing renovation.
This house will suit a growing family or buyer seeking renovation potential in a desirable village setting with good commuter links. Be prepared for immediate works and auction-related costs when considering a bid.
