A brick-built Victorian mid-terrace with high ceilings and period bay windows, this three-bedroom home pairs character with a modern interior. Two reception rooms and a contemporary kitchen create flexible living space for a first-time buyer or young family. Off-street parking is a notable convenience on a residential street where spaces are otherwise limited.
The property is an average-sized house of about 872 sq ft on a small plot. It has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D. The single bathroom serves three bedrooms and the house will suit buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home with scope to update finishes and improve energy efficiency over time.
Practical points to note: the solid brick walls were built 1900–1929 and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and council tax is very low. The local area is classed as deprived blue-collar terraces with above-average crime; buyers wanting quiet, low-crime neighbourhoods should consider this carefully. The location does provide good mobile and fast broadband connectivity and easy access to shops, buses and three nearby primary schools rated Good.
In short, this is an accessible, characterful Victorian terrace that offers immediate habitability, parking and renovation potential. It will appeal most to first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry into Darlington who are prepared to make energy-efficiency improvements and accept local area challenges.
