Summary - 19, Bates Avenue, DARLINGTON DL3 0TL
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious garden, garage and excellent commuter links via the nearby A1.
Three good-size bedrooms and family bathroom
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Bates Avenue offers practical family living with a generous rear garden and single garage. The layout is traditional with a lounge, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, and three good-size bedrooms upstairs. At about 844 sqft, the property is chain-free and well-situated for local schools, shops and easy A1 access.
The home is comfortable but shows evidence of its age: interiors are somewhat dated and the building appears to be solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. The EPC is grade D and the heating is gas boiler with radiators; buyers should expect potential improvement works rather than a move-in-perfect finish.
Practical positives include a decent plot size with a large rear garden, driveway parking and a single garage. Council Tax band B and freehold tenure add day-to-day affordability. Note there is a medium flood risk for the area — investigate local flood history and insurance implications before purchase.
This house suits families seeking space and good local schools, or investors after a traditional property with clear scope to add value through modernisation and insulation improvements. The no-chain status and strong transport links make it straightforward to progress a sale.
