A solid-priced Victorian mid-terrace with clear scope for improvement and rental or owner-occupier appeal. The house offers three bedrooms, an attic room and a detached garage plus a generous rear garden across the lane — rare for terraces at this price. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and the home sits close to shops, schools and public transport with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The layout is practical: living room, dining room, kitchen and utility on the ground floor, three bedrooms and bathroom above, with the attic providing extra storage or a small home office. The footprint (approximately 1,141 sq ft) and separate garage create flexibility for a family starter home, a refurbishment project, or a buy-to-let opportunity in a low purchase-price bracket.
Buyers should note the wider local context: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, and the terrace will need updating in places — the front yard and some internal fittings require modernisation. On-street parking only at the front and a small plot size may limit outside space usability, though the rear garden across the lane offsets this somewhat.
At £70,000 and freehold with an EPC grade C, this property is aimed at buyers seeking value and potential rather than a turnkey finish. It will suit first-time purchasers willing to carry out cosmetic works, small families wanting proximity to local schools, or investors targeting affordable rental stock in Bishop Auckland.
