This chain-free semi-detached house on Lichfield Road offers a practical two-double-bedroom layout and clear scope for improvement. At around 667 sq ft, the property has gas central heating, double glazing and enclosed front and rear gardens, making it a straightforward first-time purchase or small renovation project.
Internally the home requires some modernisation; fixtures and finishes are dated and the property will benefit from updating to kitchen, bathroom and decorative elements. The sensible room proportions include a combined lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen, utility/casual living room and a family bathroom — all ready for a new owner to personalise.
Location is convenient for local amenities and commuting routes to Durham, Darlington and Teesside, and there are several highly rated primary schools within reach. Be mindful the area scores high on deprivation indices and local crime levels are above average, which may affect resale prospects and should be weighed by buyers.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain, driveway parking and low council tax (Band A). Overall this is a budget-friendly opportunity for first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry out modest renovation work to unlock greater value.
