This chain-free, mid-terrace Victorian house offers an affordable entry into Consett with clear potential. At about 72 sq m (775 sq ft) the layout includes a lounge, kitchen/diner, rear porch, two bedrooms and a single bathroom — practical for a first home or a buy-to-let with improvement.
The property is freehold and close to Consett town centre, local shops and good primary and secondary schools. Gas central heating, double glazing and a mid-20th-century fireplace provide immediate comfort, while the small front garden and rear yard offer modest outdoor space and room for practical storage or pots.
Buyers should expect refurbishment work: the sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is E, and internal finishes are dated. Broadband speeds are slow and the area records a very high crime level, both important factors for families or tenants. Off-street parking provision is limited to parking to the rear (on-street/off-road adjacent) and the plot is small.
For a purchaser willing to invest in insulation, energy improvements and cosmetic updating, this house represents strong value at the asking price. Its proximity to transport links toward Durham and Newcastle gives long-term appeal once modernised.
