Description

This two-bedroom mid-terraced house in Castletown is offered at auction and is described as requiring updating and modernisation. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a reception hall, separate lounge and dining room, and a kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over. The kitchen has fitted base units, worktops, a sink and space for appliances. The property also has a wall-mounted boiler and double glazing in several rooms, while the rear bedroom has a single-glazed window. Outside, an enclosed rear courtyard is accessed by double gates from the rear lane and provides off-street parking. The location is close to the A19, with road connections to Sunderland, Newcastle and Durham. The property is offered with vacant possession. The auction terms include a 56-day completion period, a buyer information pack fee and a reservation fee, so prospective purchasers should review the auction conditions and associated costs before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £55,000, this two-bedroom terrace offers a light refurbishment project with useful character in its layout: the separate lounge and dining room, plus an enclosed rear courtyard with gated off-street parking. Older finishes, worn floor coverings and visible deterioration in places give scope to refresh the interior and make it your own; the kitchen ceiling and lounge wall base merit closer inspection.

The score is a weak 51/100 overall, and value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The listing says it is offered through the Modern Method of Auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and floor coverings across the home to create a more cohesive interior.
  • The separate lounge and dining room provide flexible reception space.
  • The enclosed rear courtyard and gated access offer useful off-street parking.
