This three-bedroom mid-terrace in Whinside, Stanley offers practical, affordable space for first-time buyers or young families. The layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall with storage, lounge, dining room, kitchen with rear garden access, and three upstairs bedrooms plus a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating and an enclosed rear garden with an outhouse.
The house is average-sized (approx. 861 sq ft) and was built in the mid-20th century (1950–1966). It presents a solid mid-terrace brick façade but the exterior and some interiors show dated finishes and will need updating to modern tastes. Internally rooms are small-to-medium with standard ceiling heights — practical but not generous.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low-cost council tax and no recorded flood risk. The local area has good access to primary schools rated Good and nearby secondary provision, though the wider neighbourhood shows signs of economic deprivation which may influence resale and local services. Tenure is not specified and should be clarified before purchase.
This is a straightforward affordable purchase with clear potential: cosmetic refurbishment, insulation upgrades (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and modernisation of kitchen/bathroom would add comfort and value. Buyers should budget for updating and verify tenure and any structural or service records during survey and conveyancing.
