Summary - Watling Road, Bishop Auckland, Durham, DL14 DL14 6RR
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large south-facing garden and off-street parking, ideal for growing families.
Three bedrooms with single three-piece bathroom
A spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home on Watling Road, built in the 1930s, offering a large plot and genuine scope for improvement. The layout across two floors includes a bay-front lounge, separate dining room with adjoining conservatory, kitchen, and three first-floor bedrooms with a single three-piece bathroom. The property is chain-free and has off-street parking and an attached garage.
The rear garden is south-facing and generous in size, creating a private outdoor space for children to play and for family entertaining. Practical features include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (installation date unknown) and solid brick walls — attractive for character but likely lacking modern cavity insulation.
This house does require renovation and cosmetic updating: the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from modernization and parts of the interior show dated finishes. There are no recorded flood risks, but the area has above-average crime levels and is classified as a deprived, ageing urban community; buyers should factor local context into resale and lifestyle plans.
For families, the location offers convenient access to several nearby schools (most rated Good by Ofsted; one primary requires improvement) and local amenities. The combination of a large plot, off-street parking and potential to add value will appeal to buyers comfortable with a renovation project and looking for long-term family accommodation in Bishop Auckland.
