This mid-terraced three-bedroom home on Station Avenue North offers straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or buy-to-let in a well-connected part of DH4. The property has two reception rooms including a bay-fronted lounge, a fitted galley kitchen with integrated appliances, and a family bathroom. Double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators provide reasonable energy performance (EPC C, current 73).
Internally the rooms are a practical size for a Victorian terrace: two doubles and a single bedroom upstairs, with neutral finishes and wood-effect flooring that make the house move-in ready while still leaving scope for cosmetic improvement. Externally there is a small forecourt and an enclosed rear yard with gated access — low-maintenance outdoor space suited to urban living.
The house sits in an area of strong rental demand and is offered chain-free, making it attractive to investors and first-time buyers seeking a quick purchase and immediate letting potential. Local amenities, schools rated Good, and fast broadband/mobiles add to everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived ward and the surrounding terraces are working‑class in character; this affects long-term capital-growth prospects compared with more affluent areas. The plot is small and overall internal space is average, so buyers expecting larger gardens or expansive rooms should consider this. While the property appears sound, value-add opportunities are mainly cosmetic — modernisation of finishes or yard landscaping will increase appeal and rent.
