Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom home is vacant and has no onward chain. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hall, a bay-fronted lounge, a separate dining room with built-in storage, and a fitted kitchen. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is described as extended and has gas central heating and double glazing.
Outside, there is a substantial lawned side garden, a rear yard and a storage shed. The home is in Lowes Barn Bank, just over a mile from Durham city centre, with access to local amenities and the A167 and A690. The listing notes that cosmetic updating is required. It also identifies an Article 4 Direction and a coal mining reporting area, so buyers should make the relevant enquiries.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
A tidy, light-update project with a useful mix of lounge and separate dining room, a bay window and a generous side garden. The photographed rooms have older finishes and carpets, while the kitchen and bathroom look dated but generally intact; the garden would benefit from clearance and maintenance. The stated renovation range is £5,500–£13,000, giving scope to refresh the interiors and make better use of the outdoor space. Gas central heating, double glazing, vacant possession and no onward chain add to the appeal. The score is held back by the lack of floor area: without it, value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the older carpets and wall finishes across the photographed living areas and bedrooms.
- Update the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, with the photos suggesting scope for cosmetic improvement rather than establishing a need for full replacement.
- Clear and maintain the generous side garden to bring its outdoor space back into use.
