A compact Victorian mid-terrace on Mayfair Road, Darlington, offered chain-free with freehold tenure. At around 990 sq ft, the house currently requires substantial internal refurbishment but retains period features such as a bay and sash windows and double glazing installed since 2002.
The existing layout provides two reception rooms, a narrow galley kitchen, utility and ground-floor WC, plus two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom (accessed from the second bedroom). The solid brick walls and mains gas central heating are practical starting points for renovation; there is scope to reconfigure to a three-bedroom plan subject to consents.
This property suits investors or builders seeking a low-entry purchase in an urban terrace location. Practical drawbacks are clear: the house needs full modernisation, decorative finishes and joinery require replacement, there are signs of external maintenance (peeling paint, possible roof attention), and the area records above-average crime. Outside space is minimal — typical small rear yard and paved forecourt only.
For the right buyer this is a value-led project: very low asking price, cheap council tax band, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make it attractive for rental or resale after works. Buyers should allow for renovation costs, checks on structure and services, and planning/consent for any layout changes.
