This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Crawford Close is offered chain-free and presents a low-cost route into homeownership or an investment opportunity. The property requires renovation but retains practical features: a generous rear garden with patio and decking, two outbuildings for storage, and double glazing with gas central heating. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs modest.
The layout includes an entrance hall, open-plan lounge/diner with patio doors to the garden, a kitchen with basic units, and three first-floor bedrooms plus a family bathroom. The plot is a decent size for the area and the front gravel area has been used for parking (curb drop not in place). The home dates from the mid-20th century and is built with a steel frame (non-standard construction), so a buyer should obtain a chartered survey prior to purchase.
Location is convenient for Bishop Auckland town centre and several local schools rated Good are within walking distance. Amenities including shops, takeaways and bus links are close by. Note the property lies in a selective licensing area and the wider neighbourhood records higher crime levels and significant area deprivation; these are important considerations for families and investors alike.
Overall this house suits a buyer willing to renovate to modern standards, or an investor seeking a low-entry refurbishment project in a well-connected town location.
