A traditional two-storey stone mid-terrace offering practical living in a convenient Blackhill/Consett location. The house has two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, two bathrooms and a separate reception room—layouts that suit first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors. A rear enclosed garden and useful outbuildings give outside space and storage; planning details note permission for the outbuildings to be used as a workshop or double garage (business permission).
The property retains period character in its stone façade and layout but would benefit from cosmetic updating internally and some attention to external joinery. Walls are of original sandstone/limestone construction and insulation is assumed to be limited; buyers should consider potential retrofit or upgrading work. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators and the home has double glazing (install date unknown).
Location is a strong practical selling point: easy access to public transport, nearby schools, parks and walking/cycling routes, with on-street parking and a garage. Council tax is very low, broadband and mobile signal are good, and there is low flood risk. Note the area has average crime and deprivation indicators typical of an ageing industrious-workers locality.
Overall this is a modest-sized, characterful terrace with clear value for buyers wanting a well-connected home with useful external workshop/garage potential. It suits purchasers willing to carry out light refurbishment or investors targeting steady rental demand in a convenient town location.
