This Victorian end-of-terrace offers deceptively spacious living across three bedrooms and about 933 sq ft, suited to a growing family or investor seeking a value purchase. A long 27-foot entrance hall leads to a comfortable lounge with a feature fireplace and a fitted kitchen/dining room — layouts that retain period character while offering straightforward reconfiguration or improvement.
Externally the property benefits from a forecourt to the front and a large enclosed rear yard with double gates, creating useful outdoor space and clear potential for off‑street parking or a garden makeover. The house is freehold, offered chain free, and sits in a low-crime, well-served area with nearby schools and regular bus links into Darlington town centre.
The home needs renovation and redecoration throughout; some rooms currently rely on portable electric heaters despite the reported gas central heating. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation and ceiling heights are low-to-standard, so buyers should factor in improvement costs if upgrading thermal efficiency or modernising services. Practical positives include double glazing and a fully tiled first-floor bathroom, while council tax is modest (Band A).
With competitive pricing reflecting its condition, this property suits buyers able to take on refurbishment for immediate move-in or rental, and those who want a central Darlington location with sizeable outdoor space and flexible layout.
