This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a practical, affordable step onto the property ladder in Brandon. At around 1,023 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or young families who need useful living space, built-in storage and a separate utility room. The large dual-aspect lounge/diner and private front and rear gardens give comfortable everyday living and simple entertaining space.
The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and resident parking, reducing ongoing costs and hassle. A ground-floor cloakroom and utility room add flexibility, while two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a third single bedroom mean sleeping options for children, a home office or guests. Council Tax is low (Band A), and the property is freehold — practical plus points for buyers watching running costs.
Buyers should be clear about local context: the wider area is rated as very deprived and recorded crime levels are above average. The plot is small and the home has a single family bathroom, which might be limiting for larger households. Broadband speeds are only average and some original elements date from the 1950s–1960s construction era; the installation date of the double glazing is not confirmed.
Overall this home represents good value at the asking price for someone prioritising affordability, space and low running costs over a large garden or coastal/countryside outlook. Early viewing is sensible for buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in starter home close to Durham with straightforward renovation potential if desired.
