Summary - 6 WALTER TERRACE EASINGTON LANE HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH5 0JJ
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
Unmodernised 4-bed terrace for auction — cash buyers and renovators only.
Freehold 4-bedroom mid-terrace; approx. 893 sq ft
A 4-bedroom mid-terrace offered as an unmodernised renovation project in Easington Lane, presented for sale by online auction. The property is freehold, modest in size (approx. 893 sq ft) and includes a small rear garden and patio—suitable for a practical outdoor space after refurbishment. Broadband is reported fast and mobile signal excellent, useful for hybrid working or connectivity during renovation.
The house requires substantial modernisation throughout; photos show weathered brickwork and dated external finishes, and the listing confirms the property needs renovation. This is a clear opportunity for a cash buyer, investor or hands-on buyer prepared to complete works. The area is a very deprived neighbourhood with high local crime rates and limited local amenities beyond basic shops and bus routes; nearby larger centres (Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle) offer wider services.
Sale is unconditional at auction (online) with a buyers’ premium and immediate exchange terms. The advertised auction date is 13th August 2025; buyers must register, review the legal pack and be ready to pay a 5% deposit and a buyer’s premium (5% + VAT, minimum £5,000 + VAT) on fall of the hammer, with completion usually 28 days afterwards. These auction conditions and any special costs are detailed in the legal pack and may affect total budget.
This property will suit experienced investors, builders or renovation specialists looking for a low purchase price and potential uplift after works. It is not recommended for first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home, or buyers sensitive to neighbourhood crime and local deprivation without thorough due diligence.
