Description
Council Tax Band: C
Formerly the village vicarage, this substantial period home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property in the heart of Tow Law, with excellent potential for enhancement through a comprehensive refurbishment programme. The property already benefits from structural improvements by the current owners including a new roof, repairs to the gable end, and the installation of a new boiler, allowing the next owner to restore and modernise the home to their own specification.
Full of charm, the house retains many original period features such as high ceilings, sash windows and traditional fireplaces. These historic details provide a beautiful foundation for a sympathetic renovation that blends classic architecture with modern comfort.
The ground floor layout includes a generous kitchen/breakfast room opening into a bright extension overlooking the private rear courtyard. A separate lounge and formal dining room offer ideal spaces for family living and entertaining, while a versatile additional reception room provides flexibility for a home office, playroom or snug.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, along with a large family bathroom/WC. A substantial attic space offers further scope for conversion, subject to the necessary planning approvals.
Externally, the property features low-maintenance yard areas to both the front and rear, offering pleasant outdoor space for relaxing or social gatherings.
Positioned within the friendly community of Tow Law, the home enjoys a peaceful village setting with countryside walks close by, while remaining convenient for local amenities. The area is well served by transport links to Durham, Newcastle and surrounding towns, and offers local schools, shops, cafés and a strong community spirit.
This unique home is ideal for buyers seeking a substantial period property with scope to improve and personalise. With its impressive proportions, original features and potential unlocked through refurbishment, it represents an exciting project not to be missed.

Comments
This property is offered for sale via Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer, but will be given 56 working days in which to exchange and complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.
Upon close of a successful auction, or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer's Premium of £6,600 including VAT, plus a buyer's administration charge of £396 including VAT, a total of £6,996. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and buyer's administration charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Buyer's Administration Charge
If the Buyer Information Pack has been produced and provided by GOTO Group any successful purchaser will be required to pay £396 (including VAT) towards the cost of the preparation of the pack. These can then be used by your solicitor to progress the sale.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
