A vacant, chain-free three-bedroom terraced bungalow offering straightforward purchase and immediate possession. The layout is practical: two double bedrooms at the front, a smaller third bedroom to the rear, central lounge and a galley-style kitchen with direct access to the rear yard. Recent remedial work — a full damp proof course and sealed floors — reduces immediate structural concern and makes the property ready for renovation and new finishes.
Outside space is a strong point: a generous enclosed front garden provides a private outdoor area and a rear yard offers off-street parking — a useful feature in this neighbourhood. The home benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, so basic services are in place.
The house is an affordable freehold opportunity suited to first-time buyers or small-family buyers willing to modernise. The interior is a blank canvas: expect cosmetic and modernization work to bring rooms up to contemporary standards. There is a single bathroom, standard ceiling heights and moderate room sizes, so planning for functional upgrades will be sensible.
Location-wise, the property is within easy reach of Consett town centre, public transport and local amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. Be aware the wider area scores as more deprived with average crime levels and mixed school ratings nearby — sensible for buyers to check suitability for families or long-term investment.
