Summary - 9 VICTORIA AVENUE BISHOP AUCKLAND DL14 7JH
5 bed 1 bath Town House
Large period project with central location — ideal for experienced renovators or investors.
Five bedrooms and generous room proportions across multiple floors
This five-bedroom Victorian residence on Victoria Avenue is a substantial, characterful property offered at auction with significant renovation potential. Built with classic period features — high ceilings, bay windows and ornate cornices — it provides a large, flexible floorplan that could be reconfigured for resale, HMOs, or a spacious family home. Buyers should note the home is Grade II listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can increase refurbishment costs and timescales.
The house requires comprehensive renovation throughout and currently has only one bathroom, so expect substantial plumbing, heating and internal works. It benefits from off-street parking and a small rear garden that could be landscaped to add value. The location is central to Bishop Auckland’s amenities and several well-rated schools, making the site attractive for buyers focused on local rental demand or family occupancy.
Important transactional points: the property will be sold at auction and a reservation fee applies. The listed status will cause difficulties for some renovation plans and may require specialist consent and higher-cost contractors. The surrounding area scores high for crime and is within a deprived locality, which will affect buyer perception and rental yields; factor this into any refurbishment or investment appraisal.
For experienced renovators or developers comfortable with listed buildings and auction purchases, this property offers scope to create considerable uplift. For owner-occupiers seeking a straightforward move-in, the level of works and conservation constraints make this a project purchase rather than a ready-made home.
