This compact three-bedroom mid-terrace offers sensible, affordable living in DH5, with a generous rear plot, garage and off-street parking accessed over the lane. The house has open-plan lounge–diner living with a log burner, a modern fitted kitchen and an updated bathroom, making it move-in capable for buyers seeking immediate occupancy or short-term letting income. Freehold, gas central heating, double glazing and no onward chain add practical value.
Rooms read as well-used rather than expansive: internal spaces are compact and arranged efficiently across two storeys. The larger rear plot and garage significantly increase utility—ideal for a family wanting outdoor space, a buyer needing parking, or an investor looking for added rental appeal. Council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk.
Buyers should note the surrounding context: the area records higher crime levels and very high deprivation indices, which can affect resale and lettings. The plot is small overall, and parking/garage are reached via a lane rather than directly from the house. There is one bathroom and standard ceiling heights, so the home is best suited to buyers who prioritise affordability and location over generous internal proportions.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking a budget-conscious entry into Houghton Le Spring, this property presents a practical, characterful option with immediate benefits and straightforward potential for modest improvement.
