Set on a corner plot in central Bishop Auckland, this two-bedroom end terrace blends period character with practical, well-presented living. The property offers a comfortable lounge and dining room, a fitted kitchen and a useful utility/sunroom, plus a newly fitted bathroom — ready to occupy while you adapt spaces to your needs.
At around 980 sq ft across two storeys, the bedrooms are generous for an older terrace and the rear yard gives a private, low-maintenance outdoor space. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband options make the house suitable for modern working patterns. Chain-free freehold tenure and a low council tax band help running costs for a first-time buyer.
Buyers should note the property sits in a deprived area with above-average local crime levels; that will matter for some purchasers and for buy-to-let considerations. The plot and garden are small, and although the exterior appears structurally sound, internal updating or reconfiguration may be needed to maximise long-term value.
Overall this is a practical, characterful starter home or an entry-level investment opportunity close to shops, schools and transport links. It suits someone wanting an immediately liveable home with scope to personalise and improve over time.
