Spacious three-storey detached family house offering four bedrooms, a double garage and extensive split-level gardens in the heart of Bishop Auckland. Set on a slightly elevated plot, the property provides generous living space across ground, first and lower floors, including an office/playroom, utility and plentiful storage — ideal for a growing family needing flexible rooms and outdoor space.
Practical strengths include a block‑paved double driveway, integral double garage, EPC rating C and convenient town‑centre location (approx. 0.2 miles to shops, schools and public transport). The large terraced rear garden is mature and landscaped, with specimen trees, planted borders, ponds and sheds — excellent for gardeners and for creating level entertaining areas.
Buyers should note material negatives openly: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and slow fixed broadband speeds. Council tax is above average for the area. The house dates from the 1980s and, while structurally sound with filled cavity walls and double glazing, will benefit from cosmetic updating and modernisation in places to maximise value.
Overall this freehold home suits families seeking substantial internal space and extensive outdoor grounds close to town amenities, and those prepared to invest in refurbishment to personalise and improve energy and connectivity performance.
