Compact freehold 3-bed with gardens — good commute links, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Freehold three-bedroom end terrace, 755 sq ft
This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Wharton Street offers practical, affordable homeownership close to Bishop Auckland. The house is freehold, heated by gas central heating and fitted with uPVC double glazing, providing basic comfort and low running complexity. At 755 sq ft the accommodation is compact but well laid out with lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and ground-floor cloakroom.
Externally the property has enclosed front and rear gardens designed for low maintenance, plus a garden shed for storage. The rear yard is astro-turfed for easy upkeep; the outbuilding may need some attention. Excellent nearby transport links (A689/A1 access) and a range of local amenities make commuting and daily life straightforward.
Local context matters: the immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and a small plot size, so buyers should weigh community and long-term growth prospects. The interior appears well-presented but is most suited to first-time buyers or investors; cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment could add value given the price point.
Practical nearby schools include several rated Good, making the location workable for families with young children. This property is a budget-conscious option for someone seeking a manageable starter home or a rental investment with short-term letting ease.
