Description

Offered at auction, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached house has a substantial corner plot and scope for improvement. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a lounge opening into a dining room, and a separate kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room. The listing describes the shower room as modern and the kitchen as fitted with white base units, an integrated oven, hob and extractor. Outside, the property has a front garden, driveway, integral garage, a second garage and a wrap-around garden. The plot is described as having potential for extension or redevelopment, including the possibility of an additional dwelling, subject to planning and other necessary checks. No planning feasibility is established by the listing. Spennymoor town centre, local shops, schools and amenities are within walking distance, according to the agent. The A1(M) and A19 provide road connections towards Durham City, Darlington and Teesside. The property is freehold, has mains electricity, water and sewerage, and gas central heating. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a reservation fee and a stated 56-day completion period; buyers should review the auction terms and information pack before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £95,000, this is a notably low-priced opportunity against the local average: around £91/sq ft compared with £160/sq ft locally. The three-bedroom semi has separate living and dining areas, a large wrap-around garden, driveway and garages, giving buyers a useful base and plenty of outdoor space to work with. It is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The interior is a light-refresh project, with older finishes and flooring in the living areas and bedrooms and a dated but usable kitchen. The shower room looks comparatively modern, while the weathered hardstanding and timber outbuildings offer further scope to improve the outside. The substantial corner plot is a distinctive attraction, though any extension or additional-dwelling potential would depend on planning permission.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated living areas and bedrooms with updated finishes and flooring.
  • Improve the cracked hardstanding and weathered timber structures while making the most of the large wrap-around garden.
  • Explore the substantial corner plot's potential for further improvement, subject to planning permission.
