This extended two-bedroom semi presents an accessible, chain-free entry to Bishop Auckland, well suited to first-time buyers or young couples. The ground-floor extension creates a flexible living and dining layout flooded with light, while patio doors link the interior to a generous, low-maintenance rear garden — a practical outdoor space for children, pets or entertaining.
Practical features include ample off-street parking, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and strong mobile and broadband connectivity. Local amenities, shops and several well-rated schools are within walking distance, making day-to-day life straightforward.
Be clear about the negatives: the property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs and future insulation works should be factored in. The neighbourhood sits in a more deprived area with above-average local crime statistics, which may concern some buyers. The plot is modest and the house dates from the early 20th century, so routine maintenance or targeted updating may be needed over time.
Overall this is a move-in-capable home offering sensible running costs (cheap council tax) and clear potential to add value through insulation and sympathetic modernisation. For a buyer seeking an affordable, well-located starter home with parking and a large garden, this property merits an early viewing.
