Set on Watling Road in Bishop Auckland, this three-bedroom semi-detached home blends period charm with practical family living. Two reception rooms and a generous kitchen give space for everyday life and socialising, while a useful loft provides extra storage or future conversion potential (subject to consents).
Outside, a double driveway and enclosed rear garden are rare conveniences in the area and make the house convenient for a family with cars and young children. uPVC double glazing and a mains gas boiler deliver reliable heating and a reasonable EPC C rating.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area of historical mining activity — a formal mining search is recommended as part of conveyancing. The neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation and recorded crime levels are above average; check local services and safety information if this is a priority.
The brick semi-detached house was built mid-20th century and retains character features such as bay windows and a multi-burning stove. There is potential to improve thermal performance (cavity walls currently assumed without insulation) and modernise finishes to add value and reduce running costs. For families seeking space, parking and a garden within easy reach of local schools and amenities, this offers solid fundamentals with clear scope for enhancement.
