Low-priced starter home with refurbishment potential and transport links.
- Chain free two-bedroom mid-terrace
A chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an affordable entry into the local market. The house has a straightforward traditional layout: entrance hall, living room and kitchen to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom above. Room sizes are modest but functional, and an enclosed paved yard provides private outdoor space with a small shed. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and the A688/A1 links plus public transport make commuting achievable.
The property is priced to reflect its condition and context. Internal photos show neglected finishes and a cracked floor in the living room, so cosmetic updating and likely some repairs will be required. On-street parking only; the plot is very small and there are no notable views. Council tax is very cheap which helps running costs.
The wider area provides practical amenities — shops, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools nearby, and useful transport connections to Durham, Darlington and Newcastle. However, the immediate neighbourhood has high crime levels and high area deprivation, which will affect desirability and resale potential. This house suits a buyer wanting a low-cost starter home to improve over time or an investor prepared to refurbish and let in a challenging rental market.
Buyers should view with realistic expectations about ongoing maintenance and local social conditions. The property’s price and chain-free status present a clear opportunity, but prospective purchasers must allow for repair work, modest living space, and the implications of the surrounding area.
