This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Stanhope Terrace offers a traditional Victorian footprint with bay-fronted character and a practical layout. The bay-front lounge and separate kitchen/breakfast room provide comfortable living space across two floors, while the rear enclosed yard and small front garden add manageable outdoor areas. High-speed broadband and an excellent mobile signal suit home-workers or those needing reliable connectivity.
The property is best suited to first-time buyers or investors looking for a town-centre location with good access to local shops, schools and amenities. The home benefits from double glazing and mains services, and the freehold tenure removes leasehold complications. Council Tax is low (Band A), keeping running costs modest.
Buyers should be aware this house requires energy and heating improvements: the EPC is Grade F and heating is via electric storage heaters. The cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the building dates from the early 20th century, so upgrading insulation and heating will be sensible to reduce bills and improve comfort. The area is historically mined; a mining search is recommended as part of conveyancing.
Overall, this is a solid starter home or rental opportunity with period charm and clear potential for improvement. With targeted investment in energy and heating, the property could deliver more comfortable living and stronger long-term value in Crook town centre.
