THIS terraced house in County Durham will go up for auction next month, with a guide price of just £5,000.

The mid-terraced property in Evenwood is something of a doer-upper and in need of modernisation, but it does have a gas fired central heating systems and UPVC double glazing.

It has two bedrooms and a shower room and toilet upstairs, whilst on the ground floor there is a hallway, two reception rooms and a kitchen.

Outside there is a back yard and when the new occupants step out of their front door they are straight onto a pavement in Victoria Street.

Evenwood is a former coal mining community, the local pit and coke ovens Randolph Colliery which closed in the 1960s once employed 1,000 men.

Today it is a bustling village or small town, with amenities including pubs, shops, a hairdresser, fish and chip shop, a community centre, primary school, GP practice and an industrial estate with a number of employers.

Bus services run to Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle and the train stations are Bishop Auckland and Shildon are both less than five miles away.

The house is a vacant freehold property so the buyer will be able to take possession straight after completing the deal.

Details can be found at the online estate agent rightmove and the house can be viewed externally but not inside.

The house will be for sale by public auction by Midlands-based auctioneers Bond Wolfe Auction, on Thursday, September 9, starting at 9am and livestreamed via the website bondwolfe.com

Remote bidding can be made by proxy, telephone or internet only and all bidders must pre-register by noon the previous day, Wednesday, September 8.
