Summary - 68 ELTON ROAD DARLINGTON DL3 8LU
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period charm with sizeable gardens and family potential.
Large 1930s semi on larger-than-average plot
A substantial three-bedroom 1930s semi in Darlington’s sought-after West End, set on a larger-than-average plot with mature front and rear gardens. The house blends original period features — bay windows, decorative cornicing and a traditional fireplace — with practical modern upgrades such as gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.
Interior layout suits family life: entrance porch and hallway, two generous reception rooms, a modern kitchen overlooking the landscaped rear garden, three first-floor bedrooms, and a bathroom plus separate WC. Off-street parking and gated side access lead to a single garage/outbuilding, adding storage and occasional vehicle space.
Notable positives include proximity to well-rated local schools, very low local crime, fast broadband and easy access to Darlington town centre. The plot and room sizes give clear scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to permissions) for growing families wanting more living space.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls with assumed no insulation, so energy improvements may be needed. Garage access is limited and only one bathroom serves three bedrooms. Overall the house is well maintained externally but would benefit from internal modernisation to maximise comfort and efficiency.
