A spacious two-bedroom mid-terrace offering clear rental and refurbishment potential in central Spennymoor. Set over two floors with a separate dining room, the property has a modern kitchen, upgraded bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing — practical items that reduce immediate expense for an investor or new owner.
The house measures about 940 sq ft and includes two large first-floor bedrooms, a lounge, dining room and an easy-to-maintain rear yard. Solid brick construction and recent double glazing are positives, but the walls are assumed uninsulated and the property would benefit from energy-efficiency improvements to lower running costs and improve the EPC.
Important drawbacks are factual: the area is described as deprived with higher-than-average local crime, and the terrace dates from before 1900 so some maintenance and modernization may be required. EPC rating D and the absence of wall insulation may limit appeal without investment. Council Tax Band A and freehold tenure are practical advantages for running costs and long-term ownership.
For investors seeking an affordable entry in a town-centre location, this house presents a low purchase price and straightforward layout for rental conversion or cosmetic refurbishment. For owner-occupiers or buyers seeking long-term comfort, plan for targeted insulation, cosmetic updating and security-focused measures to address area-wide concerns.
