A two-bedroom end-terrace offering practical, compact living close to Ferryhill town centre. The ground floor has a reception room, modern fitted kitchen/diner, utility and a handy office/ground-floor study, while two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the layout. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of D give straightforward running costs for a property of this size.
The house is presented as much improved with neutral decor and contemporary fixtures in kitchen and bathroom, making it a sensible move-in option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental potential. The small enclosed rear courtyard is low-maintenance and the home is freehold with low council tax, which helps overall affordability.
There are also important matters to note: external and historic records/images indicate potential roof and window work and a rewiring requirement; a professional survey is recommended. The wider area scores as very deprived with higher local crime levels, so buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their plans.
Viewed realistically, this property suits someone prioritising central location, low-running upkeep and a modest purchase price, who is prepared to commission checks and budget for any necessary structural, roof or electrical repairs following inspection.
