This mid‑terraced two‑bedroom house on Albion Terrace sits in Bishop Auckland town centre and is offered chain‑free — an appealing, low‑entry option for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors. The property retains period character including bay windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces, while practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC grade C.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with a front lounge, separate dining room, compact kitchen and first‑floor bathroom. Both bedrooms are double in size and the home benefits from a rare town‑centre single garage at the rear, useful for parking or storage. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it well suited to modern working-from-home needs.
There are some material points to note: the area is classified as deprived with above‑average local crime and the street setting provides only a small enclosed rear yard and limited outside space. The build dates suggest cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential energy‑efficiency improvements. The property lies in a historical mining area — a targeted mining search is recommended during conveyancing.
At the asking price this presents clear value for a purchaser willing to carry out modest updating. The combination of central location, period features and a garage make it a practical starter home or a straightforward rental opportunity; however, expect some renovation and checks on mining history and insulation before committing.
