Chain-free, low-cost two-bedroom terrace — ideal first home or starter investment.
Chain-free freehold mid-terrace priced at £59,950
An affordable mid-terraced two-bedroom house offered chain-free and with immediate possession potential. The ground floor has a lounge, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a white bathroom suite; two double bedrooms sit on the first floor. The property benefits from gas central heating (boiler housed in a bedroom cupboard), UPVC double glazing and contemporary finishes throughout, making it move-in ready for many buyers.
The house is modest in footprint (approx. 689 sq ft) and sits on a very small plot with a rear yard rather than a garden. Room sizes are compact to average, typical of early 20th-century terraced stock, and internal ceilings are standard height. EPC rating D and a low council tax band keep running costs reasonable.
This will suit a first-time buyer seeking an inexpensive starter home or an investor looking for an entry-level buy-to-let near Bishop Auckland. Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, while the freehold tenure and no onward chain simplify purchase.
Material considerations are straightforward and factual: the property is located in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics for the locality, and external appearance shows cement render and areas that may benefit from redecoration. Buyers should note the solid-brick construction with external insulation, the unknown installation date of the glazing, and the modest external space. These points may influence resale, rental income or mortgage options, so check finance and insurance implications before committing.
