Three bedrooms with high ceilings and period features
A solid Victorian mid-terrace with genuine period character, this three-bedroom house in Witton Park suits first-time buyers or investors seeking space and scope. The property delivers high ceilings, two reception rooms and a generous rear garden — practical features for family life and entertaining. Mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazing provide day-to-day comfort, while the freehold tenure and low council tax keep running costs modest.
The layout lends itself to straightforward improvement: the two reception rooms offer potential to create an open-plan kitchen/diner, and the sizeable rear garden could be landscaped or extended for outdoor living. The property is structurally typical of its age with solid brick walls and appears externally sound, so most work is likely cosmetic or upgrade-focused rather than structural.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: glazing was installed before 2002, walls are likely solid with no built-in insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow in the area. There is no off-street parking and the property has one family bathroom — factors to consider for households needing fast connectivity or parking. EPC is currently TBC.
Overall this home offers a well-priced, characterful canvas in a village setting near Bishop Auckland — a straightforward renovation project that can add significant value and create a comfortable family home.
