A chain-free, two-bedroom Victorian terrace offering an affordable entry into Bishop Auckland. The property has practical benefits for a first-time buyer: double glazing, mains gas central heating and a compact, easy-to-manage footprint of about 645 sq ft. The layout includes a naturally light lounge, dining room with storage, fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom on the ground floor, with two bedrooms above; the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobe space.
The house sits in a residential South Church street with local amenities, schools (several rated Good by Ofsted) and bus links nearby. Council tax costs are very low and flood risk is minimal. For buyers seeking rental potential, the modest purchase price and city/major town location may appeal to investors prepared to manage tenants.
Buyers should be aware this is a traditional, older property with small rooms and dated decor. The walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The home will suit someone willing to undertake cosmetic updating and possible insulation improvements to raise comfort and efficiency. Viewing is recommended to judge room sizes and finishing potential.
Overall this end-terrace presents a low-cost opportunity to secure a freehold, two-bedroom home in a well-served but economically challenged area. It works well for a first home or a renovation-for-rental project, provided you factor in upgrade and modernization costs.
