Two-bed Victorian terrace with refurbishment potential, near schools and amenities.
Priced at £65,000 — low entry point for buyers or investors
This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Bishop Auckland offers an affordable entry to the housing market or buy-to-let opportunity. At 740 sq ft, the home has traditional proportions, a bright lounge, separate dining room and a fitted kitchen with rear yard access. It is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown).
The property sits on a small plot within a deprived, blue-collar terrace area but benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities—shops, doctors, library, sports centre and regular bus links. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making it practical for families or tenants.
Condition and layout are straightforward: two good-sized bedrooms upstairs, a three-piece bathroom and a generous landing. Buyers should note the terrace dates from the 1930s–40s and may require updating or targeted maintenance; glazing age is unknown and further inspection is recommended. Council tax is very low, and there is no flooding risk.
Priced at £65,000, the house presents clear refurbishment potential for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise their home, or an investor seeking a low-entry rental addition in a town-centre location. Consider the area’s higher-than-average crime statistics when planning security improvements or tenant screening.
