3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free semi with garden, parking and long lease — ideal for first-time buyers or young families.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house
Chain-free three-bedroom semi in Garden Farm, Chester Le Street, offering a practical family layout across two storeys. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, lounge, separate reception room with patio doors to the rear garden, and a kitchen with side access to the garage. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family wet room with shower and WC. The property benefits from off-street parking, a lawned front area and a generous rear garden laid mainly to lawn with patio.
Built in the late 1960s–1970s, the house has been maintained to a good standard but retains dated decor and mid-century fittings. It has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and cavity walls with no confirmed added insulation. Council Tax band C and very low local crime add to its day-to-day affordability and appeal.
This home suits first-time buyers or young families seeking a ready-to-live-in property with scope to personalise. The long lease (934 years remaining) removes common leasehold timing concerns, though the tenure remains leasehold. Nearby schools are rated Good, local shops and transport links are convenient, and there is no flooding risk.
Notable considerations: the property has one family bathroom (wet room) only and some cosmetic updating and insulation improvements may be desirable to modernise and improve energy efficiency. Viewings are recommended to assess layout and refurbishment potential in person.
