Boiler replaced 2017; double glazing fitted (date unknown)

A period mid-terrace offered chain-free and ready for a full renovation. The house sits close to Shildon town centre and rail links, making it practical for commuters and investors seeking rental demand. The property retains some original features such as stained glass and high ceilings, with two reception rooms and a kitchen to the rear overlooking allotments.
Inside are three bedrooms and a substantial bathroom; room sizes feel generous for the age and layout. The boiler was replaced in 2017 and windows are double glazed (install date unknown), which reduce immediate major heating costs. A small front garden and an enclosed rear yard provide outdoor space; parking is on-street.
This is a clear refurbishment opportunity. The interior is dated and requires modernisation throughout — the bathroom, fittings and general decoration will need updating to achieve contemporary standards. The terrace sits in a deprived area with above-average crime statistics and selective licensing applies; buyers should factor this into management plans if letting.
Practical matters: the property is freehold with very low council tax and no significant flood risk. It lies within a historical mining area and solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation. A chartered surveyor is recommended to confirm condition and any material issues before purchase.
