Modern fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and washing machine
Off-street parking and decent enclosed rear garden with raised deck

A chain-free, mid-terraced three-bedroom home arranged over two storeys, suited to first-time buyers or young families seeking ready-to-live accommodation with scope to personalise. The house benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating, so everyday running costs and comfort are straightforward.
The layout is practical: a generous front lounge flowing to a rear dining area, fitted kitchen, ground-floor WC, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Outside there is off-street parking and a decent, enclosed rear garden with lawn, paved seating and a raised deck — a private outdoor space that will suit children or pets but would benefit from light landscaping to tidy the area.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and high levels of local deprivation, which will be a material consideration for many buyers. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and while the home is well maintained, parts (garden and decor) offer opportunites for improvement rather than a turnkey luxury finish.
Priced for the DN17 market with very cheap council tax and no ongoing chain, the house represents an accessible entry into home ownership or a manageable buy-to-let opportunity for those comfortable with the neighbourhood profile. Early viewing is recommended to judge how the location and condition fit your requirements.
