A ground-floor two-bedroom flat in the heart of Consett offers practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation with no onward chain. Set within a Victorian mid-terrace, the property combines period stone exterior and modern interior fittings including a galley kitchen and contemporary bathroom. The private rear courtyard adds outdoor space rare for town-centre flats.
The flat sits on a long ‘Tyneside’ lease (999 years from October 2011, c. 989 years remaining) with no service charges. At approximately 68 sq m (732 sq ft) it provides comfortable room sizes for first-time buyers, couples or those downsizing who want easy access to local shops, schools and transport links to Durham and Newcastle.
Practical considerations: the EPC is band D and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than for newer stock. Parking is on-street only and local crime levels are above average. The property is offered chain-free, which can speed purchasing, but prospective buyers should arrange their own checks on services, appliances and structural condition before exchange.
This flat is strongest for buyers seeking a centrally located, well-sized home with period character and minimal immediate fees. It also suits investors looking for a straightforward let close to amenities, though energy-efficiency upgrades would improve running costs and rental appeal.
