Set on a popular Gilesgate road, this freehold end-terrace offers clear scope for improvement and value. Currently configured as a two-bedroom home (originally three), the layout suits first-time buyers or investors prepared to renovate and add value. The property has a lounge with open-plan access to a dining room, a fitted kitchen with rear utility/store, and a shower room on the first floor.
Outside there are small forecourt and enclosed rear gardens, providing private outdoor space despite a modest plot. The house was built in the 1950s–1960s and requires cosmetic updating and more significant modernisation in places; glazing details are not defined and internal systems may need attention. Council tax is very low, and mains gas central heating runs from a boiler and radiators.
Location is a strong selling point: regular buses and easy road links to the A690/A1(M) make commuting straightforward, and Durham city centre, riverside walks and local shops are within walking distance. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, adding appeal for families.
Buyers should be realistic about downside factors: the area sits within a deprived classification and local crime levels are high, so buyers seeking a turnkey home may be disappointed. For those willing to improve the property, the asking price reflects the renovation potential and offers scope to reinstate the third bedroom or reconfigure living space to increase resale or rental value.
