For Sale By online Auction
31st july 2025
10 AM start - Bidding commences 24 hours prior
OPTION ONE – On the fall of the electronic gavel the buyer pays a 10% deposit to The Agents Property Auction Limited subject to a minimum of £3,000. Where sales are agreed prior or post auction and The Agents Property Auction Limited are in possession of a legal pack, exchange occurs on the buyer signing the Auction Contract, payment of the deposit and The Agents Property Auction Limited completing their customer due diligence. Completion is to occur within a further 28 days of the exchange.
An interesting property that could offer many uses such as artist’s studio, small holiday cottage or storage. It is currently a derelict barn made up of two similar rooms - one on top of the other. The lower room measures 3.4m by 4.6m, the one above, which cannot be accessed appears to be the same.
The property lies just on the outskirts of the village of St John's Chapel and as such is surrounded by the beauty of Weardale and all of the walks and outdoor activities that the region has to offer. St John's Chapel offers a few local amenities, however the much larger Stanhope is reachable by Car and here a much large selection can be found.
