A substantial Victorian mid-terrace arranged over three floors, this 4-bedroom house blends period detail with practical living spaces. High ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces and stained-glass doors give strong character, while the large principal bedroom in the attic and generous ground-floor reception rooms create flexible family accommodation.
Practical features include a modern kitchen with pantry, a ground-floor WC plus additional WC on the top floor, resident parking off the lane and a small south-facing front garden with decking — low-maintenance and private. The property is freehold, around 1,604 sq ft, gas centrally heated via boiler and radiators, and has double glazing installed before 2002.
Important buyer notes: the property is sold by the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders must complete within a 56-day reservation period, pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600), and a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 inc VAT) is payable. The property appears to have an EPC rating of F and council tax band A. Construction is traditional stone with assumed no wall insulation; some energy and maintenance upgrades may be needed.
Location strengths include a central Bishop Auckland position close to shops, schools and transport links to Durham and Darlington. However, the immediate area records very high crime levels and is within a deprived area classification — factors to weigh for family safety or rental demand. Buyers should inspect with lenders and surveyors before bidding, especially if financing through a mortgage.
