Chain-free starter home in Harrowgate Hill, ready for cosmetic updating..
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached property
A chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached home with straightforward layout and a small rear garden, offered at an entry-level price of £100,000. The property sits in the Harrowgate Hill area of Darlington within easy reach of local shops, bus routes and a range of primary and secondary schools — a practical choice for first-time buyers or young families seeking an affordable starter home.
Internally the house provides a bay-fronted lounge, compact kitchen/diner and a ground-floor bathroom, with three bedrooms upstairs. Room sizes are small to average and the property presents as a liveable home that would benefit from cosmetic updating to modernise finishes and flooring. The house has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown).
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, low council tax band B and excellent mobile and fast broadband availability — useful for homeworking or streaming. Notable points to consider: the EPC is not yet confirmed, the plot is small with a concrete rear garden and outbuilding, and the property is in an area described as deprived blue-collar terraces which may influence longer-term resale dynamics.
Overall, this is a sensible value opportunity for a buyer looking to move quickly into an affordable home and invest modestly in modernisation. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and renovation scope in person.
