Sold via modern auction, this end-terrace three-bedroom house in Bearpark offers clear upside for an investor or hands-on renovator. The layout includes lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom across a sensible 1,073 sq ft footprint. Generous front and rear gardens and a brick outbuilding extend usable space and add scope for landscaping or rental return enhancement.
The property requires full refurbishment throughout: cosmetic works, likely improvements to insulation, and a careful check of the heating system (listing references both mains gas boiler and solid-fuel heating). Buyers should factor the auction-specific costs and timescales into offers — a non-refundable reservation fee and buyer’s pack are payable and completion is required within a 56-day reservation period.
Located a few miles from Durham city centre with regular buses, local shops and good primary schools nearby, the house sits in a prosperous rural-fringe area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is very low, and the plot size and period build (c.1900–1929) give potential for good rental yield or a value-add resale once renovated.
Be transparent about limitations: the garden is overgrown and the property needs substantial work. Crime levels are above average locally, so factor security and external repairs into any refurbishment plan. This is a clear project for investors or experienced DIY buyers prepared to trade time and cash for future uplift.
