Summary - 8 LANETHORPE ROAD DARLINGTON DL1 4SF
4 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free 4-bed family home near retail park and train station, ideal to modernise.
Four first-floor bedrooms, approx. 990 sq ft
Offered with no onward chain, this four-bedroom end-of-terrace in Darlington’s Eastbourne area is a practical family home or buy-to-let prospect. Extending to about 990 sq ft across two floors, the house retains mid‑20th century character (bay windows, brick façade) while providing roomy reception space, a fitted kitchen and a convenient ground-floor WC.
The plot is small but manageable, with front and rear gardens and a small driveway providing off-street parking. Gas central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002) mean the home is warm and economical to run, and Council Tax is low (Band B). The property sits within walking distance of the retail park and train station, with good mobile and broadband speeds for modern living.
Material drawbacks are clear and stated: there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, the plot and garden are small, and the local area shows higher crime levels and economic deprivation—factors to consider for families and investors. Interior décor is dated in places (papered walls, older fittings) and would benefit from cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment to maximise value.
This house will suit a growing family seeking immediate move-in or a buyer happy to refresh and personalise a solid, freehold home in a well-connected city location. Investors should note the rental potential given proximity to transport and amenities, balanced against local social indicators and the single bathroom layout.
