This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Fir Park offers straightforward, affordable living for first-time buyers or investors. Set over two storeys with an 887 sq ft footprint, the property provides a practical layout: full-depth lounge, kitchen with adjacent utility, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Interiors are neutrally presented and largely move-in ready, allowing immediate occupation with scope for personalisation.
Location is convenient for everyday needs. The home sits close to bus links, local shops and recreational spaces, with a mix of primary and secondary schools nearby including a highly rated secondary (Durham Johnston). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house suitable for remote working and family connectivity.
Key positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, double glazing and a very low council tax band that keeps running costs down. The small rear garden and front yard provide outside space but will need some updating to suit contemporary tastes. The property was built in the post-war period (c.1950–66) and shows the typical solid footprint of that era.
Buyers should note important context about the wider area: local statistics indicate high deprivation and a classification reflecting young, hard-pressed families and challenged communities. The house is priced competitively at £85,000 and will appeal to purchasers seeking an affordable starter home or an investment with potential for modest refurbishment.
