Summary - 11 ABBEY DRIVE HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH4 5JZ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Auction lot with strong value-add potential for investors.
Three bedrooms across two storeys, approx 861 sq ft
A three-bedroom semi-detached house offered freehold at auction. Set on a small corner plot, the property totals about 861 sq ft across two storeys and dates from the 1950s–60s. It has double glazing (pre-2002), mains gas boiler with radiators, and excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical basics for a rental or refurbishment.
The house requires full updating throughout and should be treated as a renovation project. Internal accommodation includes a dual-aspect living room with bay window, kitchen/diner, three first-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful built-in storage. The EPC has expired; buyers must verify current energy performance and condition.
Sold by timed auction (registration required). Guide £60,000–£90,000, with an administration fee of £3,600 (inc VAT) payable on exchange and potential legal pack disbursements. On-street parking, nearby shops, pub and good local schools add practical appeal for tenants or future owners.
This is a clear opportunity for investors or developers targeting value-add projects in an area with refurbishment potential. Be aware of local area deprivation indicators and average crime levels; a pre-purchase inspection and review of the legal pack are recommended before bidding.
