Compact starter home with new roof and cellar, close to shops and schools.
Guide price £59,950; sold by Modern Auction, reservation fee applies
A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace with recent updates and clear scope for improvement. A new roof was fitted in 2023, the kitchen and shower room have been refurbished, and the house benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a useful basement for storage. The enclosed rear yard and two sheds add practical outdoor space in a small plot.
This home sits within walking distance of local shops, schools and bus links, making it a convenient choice for a first-time buyer or someone seeking a low-cost main residence close to Durham and surrounding countryside. The property is freehold with a low council tax band and average broadband and mobile coverage.
Buyers should note this sale is by Modern Method of Auction. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional buyer costs apply, and completion is required within 56 days of contract exchange. The property has an EPC rating of D and walls that are likely uninsulated (as-built sandstone/limestone), so further insulation or energy improvements may be needed.
Overall this is a practical, well-located starter home with recent essential work done and further upside for energy upgrades or cosmetic improvement. Due diligence is important: review the buyer information pack and budget for the reservation fee and any renovation or insulation costs before bidding.
