Ropery Lane, Chester Le Street, DH3

A Unique Opportunity: Ropery Lane Cemetery House

***** Only those prepared for substantial renovation works should enquire *****

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.
