Summary - 10, Derwent Terrace DH9 8NN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious Victorian terrace — auction sale, ideal for first-time buyers who can renovate..
Freehold terraced house, chain-free and sold at auction
This Victorian mid-terrace offers a spacious 1,007 sq ft layout with two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a low-maintenance rear yard — an affordable foothold in Stanley for first-time buyers or buyers willing to modernise. The property is freehold, chain-free and will be sold at auction, so a swift purchase is possible for prepared buyers.
The house has period stone elevations, double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Internally there is scope to improve flooring and finishes (some rooms show dated carpet and mid-century fittings) and to upgrade insulation in stone walls. The energy rating is D and the building likely has uninsulated stone walls, so further investment in efficiency will reduce running costs.
Location is practical: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, local shops, bus routes and several nearby primary schools rated Good. However, the area is categorised as deprived with higher-than-average crime and blue-collar terraces close by — factors that affect resale and rental demand and should be weighed by buyers or landlords.
Sale at auction suits cash buyers or those with mortgage arrangements in place. The council tax band is low (Band A), and there is no flood risk, but buyers should allow budget for cosmetic updating, potential wall insulation, and to conduct their own checks on services and structure before bidding.
