Priced at £47,500, this two-bedroom mid-terrace on Wesley Street is offered freehold with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for investors seeking entry-level rental stock. The property provides two double bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen/breakfast room across approximately 781 sq ft, plus an enclosed rear yard and gas central heating. Room sizes are described as generous for the footprint and the interior is presented in generally good order.
The location suits buy-to-let purchasers: short drives deliver access to Bishop Auckland’s shops, healthcare and transport links, and nearby schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings. Council Tax is Band A (very cheap) which supports affordability for tenants. The property sits in a historic Victorian terrace with period brick frontage and some modern internal finishes such as laminate flooring in the living room.
Important considerations: the wider area scores as very deprived with very high recorded crime and the street offers only on-street parking. The property lies within a selective licence area and is in a historical mining area — purchasers should budget for checks, possible licensing compliance and confirm any repair liabilities. The vendor recommends a chartered surveyor and purchasers should review covenants and building records before committing.
For an investor willing to manage location-related challenges, this home represents low-cost entry with potential to let quickly. For owner-occupiers, be aware of the neighbourhood profile and parking limitations before viewing.
