This three-bedroom mid-terraced house on Palmerston Street is an affordable entry-level home or rental opportunity in Consett. Internally the layout is practical: two light-filled receptions with large windows, a bright kitchen and three bedrooms including two doubles and a spacious master — ready for immediate occupation with neutral decor throughout.
The property sits on a small plot typical of Victorian terraces, with a paved rear yard and a small front garden. The outdoor space is low-maintenance but limited for recreational use; the rear yard is best suited to seating, storage or bin use rather than extensive gardening. External walls and boundary plaster show some weathering and would benefit from minor repairs to improve durability and kerb appeal.
The location suits first-time buyers, young families and investors: local schools are nearby and public transport links are within easy reach. Practical advantages include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low council tax. Buyers should note the neighbourhood context — higher local crime rates and a predominantly blue-collar terrace area — when weighing the purchase.
Overall, the house offers good natural light, flexible living space and an attractive price point for buyers willing to accept modest outdoor space and undertake light external maintenance or cosmetic updates.
