Summary - 6 RABY MOOR COCKFIELD BISHOP AUCKLAND DL13 5HG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free two-bedroom village cottage with field views — ideal first-time rural purchase.
No onward chain — quick completion possible
This stone-built Victorian mid-terrace offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase in a quiet hamlet on the edge of the Raby estate. The house has two double bedrooms, generous storage including a large understairs cupboard, and pleasant rear views across fields — attractive features for a first-time buyer seeking affordable rural living.
The interior retains period character such as open fires and a feature fireplace but is dated and requires updating. There are recorded issues with damp and mould in the living room area and the property shows general signs of wear; a buyer should expect cosmetic and some remedial work. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and there is double glazing installed before 2002; external stone walls are uninsulated (assumed).
Outside, the small front gravel garden, enclosed rear yard and adjacent fenced lawn give useful outdoor space for children or pets, plus gravelled off-street parking across the rear lane. Convenience amenities in Cockfield are a short walk away and public transport links include the X5 bus to Newcastle — useful for commuting or accessing larger centres.
Important practical notes: the property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, council tax is low (Band A), and flood risk is very low. There are covenants and recorded rights/easements on the title; the house sits in a historical mining area. Prospective buyers should commission a full survey and budget for refurbishment, damp remediation and potential upgrading of insulation and heating systems.
