Summary - 14 GARDEN TERRACE, DURHAM, BISHOP AUCKLAND DL13 4LY
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Affordable two-bedroom period home with enclosed garden and countryside outlook.
Guide price £75,000; no forward chain
A traditional stone-built cottage offered with a guide price of £75,000 and no forward chain. Positioned on a village street with open countryside views to the front, the house benefits from a well-kept enclosed garden, a single-storey conservatory and a compact, practical two-bedroom layout. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
The interior has been cared for and offers immediate habitation for a first home or simple buy-to-let; main rooms are comfortable rather than expansive. Heating is by electric night storage heaters and windows are double glazed (install date unknown). The property is traditional construction (pre-1900) with stone walls, likely lacking modern wall insulation — a consideration if you want to improve thermal efficiency.
Important sale information: this is a Modern Method of Auction sale. Buyers must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price including VAT, minimum £6,600) in addition to the purchase price, and complete within the auction timescale. There is also a buyer information pack fee (approx. £300). Prospective purchasers should carry out their own due diligence and confirm material information with their solicitor prior to bidding.
Suitability is strongest for first-time buyers seeking an affordable period home or investors looking for a straightforward terrace in a rural village. Expect modest modernisation and potential insulation or heating upgrades to reduce running costs and increase comfort.
