Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain and requires modernisation. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a front living room with a bay window and open fire, a separate dining room and a kitchen with fitted units, tiled splashbacks and a pantry. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom also has a bay window, while the second bedroom includes fitted wardrobes.
Outside, the front has a walled garden and a double-length driveway. The enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn, with planted borders and mature shrubs. The property is a short distance from Bishop Auckland town centre and local shops, schools, the hospital and public transport. The A688 and A689 are nearby, and Tindale Retail Park is around two miles away. The layout and existing accommodation provide a basis for updating, subject to inspection and the buyer's plans.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £130,000, this three-bedroom semi offers a clear medium-scale modernisation project, with dated finishes across several interior rooms and scope to refresh the kitchen, bathroom, decoration and flooring. The two reception rooms, bay-windowed living room, pantry storage, double-length driveway and maintained rear garden give the project useful features to build on; the visible exterior and roof appear broadly intact, though photographs cannot confirm concealed or high-level condition.
The overall score is 55/100 (D, Weak Opportunity), with good fundamentals and location but only moderate condition and economics scores. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; that data gap means the asking price cannot be assessed against local floor-area values from the information available.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom, with the kitchen’s pantry providing useful additional storage.
- Update decoration and flooring across the reception rooms and bedrooms to give the interiors a more cohesive feel.
- Make the most of the bay-windowed living room, separate dining room, double-length driveway and established rear garden.
