Set on Clifford Terrace in Chester-le-Street, this mid-terraced two-bedroom house offers a practical starter home or buy-to-let in a well-connected town location. The layout provides a lounge with dining area, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a refitted bathroom; immediate vacant possession is available. The property is freehold with an EPC rating D and very low council tax (Band A), keeping running costs down.
The house shows a mix of updates and original features: a modernised bathroom and double glazing (installed pre-2002) sit alongside mid-century finishes and rooms that would benefit from cosmetic updating. There’s a small rear garden and a compact garage for storage — useful extras for urban living. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, helping those who work from home or stream.
Location is a strength: easy access to the A1(M) and local amenities, with several Good-rated primary schools nearby and green spaces close to the River Wear. The surrounding area is described as affluent with aspirational urban households, although recorded local crime is above average — an important consideration for buyers.
For purchasers seeking value, the property offers scope to add value through sensible refurbishment. Buyers should note the small plot size and modest overall square footage (approximately 679 sq ft). Any buyer wanting a move-in perfect home should expect to refresh decor and possibly modernise certain fittings.
