Summary - 4 COBDEN COURT DARLINGTON DL1 4JL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-priced two-bedroom apartment with communal gardens and parking.
Deceptive layout with 20 ft open-plan lounge/diner
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Darlington, this deceptive ground-floor flat feels larger than its compact footprint suggests. The open-plan 20 ft lounge/dining room faces attractive communal lawns, creating a bright, sociable living space ideal for first-time buyers or those downsizing. Two bedrooms and a fitted kitchen complete a practical layout for everyday living.
The apartment sits in well-maintained grounds with generous communal gardens and an off-street parking space — rare advantages for a property of this size. The lease has around 89–92 years remaining and the annual service charge is modest at £900, while ground rent is a peppercorn, helping to keep running costs predictable. Council tax sits at Band A, so ongoing outgoings are low.
There are a few practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters, and the property may benefit from modernisation in places to reduce running costs and personalise the space. The flat is in a generally deprived area with average crime and average mobile signal, though broadband speeds are listed as fast and local schools nearby have good to outstanding ratings. Investors should note the healthy potential rental yield; owner-occupiers will appreciate the quiet position and communal green space.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-positioned ground-floor apartment offering low running costs, good communal amenities and clear scope to add value through cosmetic updates—an appealing starter home or buy-to-let in Darlington.
