This detached dormer bungalow on High West Road sits on a large south-facing plot and offers spacious accommodation across two levels, with three double bedrooms and generous living spaces. A unique internal lift provides step-free access between the ground-floor living room and the first-floor bedroom, making the home suitable for someone with limited mobility or seeking future-proof accommodation. The property's size, parking and long rear garden with far-reaching views over Crook are genuine strengths.
The house requires modernisation and cosmetic updating throughout; potential buyers should budget for refurbishment and obtain a full survey. The sale is by online auction, so purchasers must be prepared for auction terms including a £3,000 non-refundable deposit on the fall of the electronic gavel and accelerated exchange/completion times. There is no onward chain, which can speed completion for a prepared buyer.
Practical details to note: mains gas central heating, double glazing, off-street driveway parking and useful outbuildings and utility/store space. Title notes include some restrictive covenants and rights/easements; the area is a historical mining zone and crime rates are above average locally. Buyers wanting views, a large garden and scope to add value will find clear potential here, but should factor in refurbishment costs and auction fees.
