A chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached home in a popular Ferryhill street, offered freehold and suited to first-time buyers or buyers seeking an affordable starter home. The house benefits from gas central heating to radiators, uPVC double glazing and two useful outbuildings that provide extra storage or workshop space. An enclosed rear garden and small front lawn complete the plot.
The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, living room opening to a dining area, fitted kitchen, and three first-floor bedrooms served by a family bathroom and separate WC. The property dates from the mid-20th century and presents tidy but dated fixtures and finishes, offering clear potential to modernise and add value. An EPC around band C suggests mid-range energy efficiency with scope for improvement.
Buyers should note practical issues visible at the time of listing: the front lawn requires maintenance and there is moss on the roof that may need attention. The plot is small and the area is in a very deprived classification, which may affect long-term resale expectations. Council Tax is very low (Band A), broadband speeds are fast, and there is no onward chain, allowing a quicker completion.
Overall this is a pragmatic, affordable purchase for a buyer willing to do modest updating. It’s best suited to someone wanting a low-price entry into Ferryhill with good local schools and shops nearby, or an investor comfortable with a straightforward refurbishment project.
