Ideal for buy-to-let or a DIY first purchase with scope to add value.
- Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, practical town-centre layout
- No onward chain, immediate vacant possession possible
- Designated parking bay plus single garage with up-and-over door
- EPC Grade D; running costs moderate, council tax very cheap
- Lease ~73 years remaining — lenders may refuse without extension
- Small overall size; rooms and amenity space modest
- Kitchen dated (1990s) — clear scope for cosmetic refurbishment
- Area described as deprived; consider long-term value and lettings
A two-bedroom ground-floor flat in the heart of Bishop Auckland, offered with no onward chain and immediate access to shops, schools and public transport. The accommodation includes a bright front living room, a functional kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — a practical layout that suits rental use or a first home. A designated parking bay and a single garage add useful storage and parking in a town-centre location.
This property will appeal most to investors or buyers prepared to update; the interior is modest and the kitchen appears dated, offering clear scope for cosmetic improvement and rental uplift. EPC grade D and inexpensive council tax keep running costs relatively low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for tenants or home-workers.
Important practical point: the lease has approximately 73 years remaining. That may restrict mortgage options and could deter some lenders unless the lease is extended. Prospective buyers should check lending criteria and the cost of a lease extension before committing. The area is described as relatively deprived, which has implications for long-term value and tenant demand, though the central location and transport links are definite positives.
In short, this is a small, centrally located flat with straightforward layouts and parking provision that offers immediate rental or DIY-buy potential. It is best suited to cash buyers, investors familiar with leasehold purchases, or first-time buyers who can manage a property that will benefit from updating and possible lease negotiation.
