Summary - 227, Geneva Road, DARLINGTON DL1 4HR
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Auction sale — investment potential with garage and good plot, needs renovation.
Three-bedroom residential above self-contained ground-floor commercial unit
A flexible mixed-use opportunity in Darlington offering a three-bedroom home above a self-contained commercial unit. The upper accommodation requires cosmetic refurbishment but benefits from a recently installed boiler, an existing bathroom and a ground-floor kitchen. The layout suits letting, live-above-business arrangements, or conversion to fully residential subject to planning.
Externally the property sits on a decent plot with a detached garage, vehicular access and a paved driveway — useful for parking, storage or workshop use. The building is solid brick (likely no wall insulation) with double glazing of unknown install date and dates from the 1930–1949 period.
Buyers should note material downsides: the area is classified as very deprived with high local crime rates, and the house needs renovation throughout. This sale is by auction using the Modern Method of Auction — bids start at £125,000 and the buyer must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a buyer pack fee, and complete within the auction timescale. Conduct full due diligence before bidding.
