A three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering 948 sq ft of living space in DL3, presented as a renovation opportunity. The property is freehold, chain-free and suited to buyers who can undertake updating work to add value. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The house requires refurbishment throughout: minor to moderate works are noted, the front door is boarded and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. EPC D and low council tax band A reflect current energy performance and running costs; installing insulation and modern systems would improve both comfort and value.
The location is convenient for local shops, bus routes and several primary and secondary schools, with good access to Darlington town centre. However, the immediate area scores as very deprived with very high recorded crime — factors investors and owner-occupiers should weigh when assessing rental demand or resale potential.
This property will suit an investor or a buyer seeking a cost-effective project in a period house. Its size, period details and proximity to amenities give clear upside after refurbishment, but buyers should budget for works and consider neighbourhood risks when calculating returns.
