This distinctive three-bedroom detached property on Ropery Lane presents an exciting project for buyers interested in restoring a traditional brick-built home. Recently unoccupied, the house requires a full refurbishment, making it ideal for those ready to transform a property with character.
The ground floor includes an entrance porch, lounge, dining room, and kitchen, along with a separate entrance leading to a spacious office area and secure storage space. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms—two of which are generously sized—as well as a bathroom.
The property boasts extensive gardens and additional outbuildings, with a total site area of 527 square metres. The sale includes a right of way over the roadway, though parking on this roadway is not permitted. The purchaser will be required to create a private entrance in accordance with approved planning permission plans. There is an external brochure available to view online which shows the current and proposed access. Additionally, Japanese knotweed is present in two parts of the site; it is currently undergoing treatment and comes with a 10-year warranty from the treatment provider.
Prospective buyers should be aware that Ropery Lane Cemetery remains in active use nearby, and residents will need to respect this adjoining purpose.
The property is offered with vacant possession on a freehold basis. Durham County Council will continue to maintain the private access road, with purchasers contributing an annual maintenance fee, adjusted annually in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI), for future repairs, except where private entrance access is implemented.
Important Note: This property is being sold on behalf of Durham County Council through a sealed bids process. All bids should be submitted to The Head of Legal and Democratic Services at County Hall by 10th of February 4pm.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
