Affordable three-bed semi with garden, close to schools and transport links.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached with rear garden
This three-bedroom, semi-detached home in Briardale offers an affordable entry into Consett with freehold tenure and very low council tax (Band A). Set back from the road, the property benefits from a pleasant enclosed rear garden and a small paved area/drive providing limited off-street parking.
Internally the layout is practical: a spacious reception room with large windows, a bright kitchen and three bedrooms (two double, one single) served by a single family bathroom. The house is neutrally presented and will suit first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income in a well-connected area.
The property is offered in original condition and requires updating — kitchen, bathroom and general cosmetic refurbishment are likely to be needed to unlock full value. EPC rated D; heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and windows are double glazed though install dates are unknown. Plot and internal size are modest, so buyers should expect limited living space compared with larger family homes.
Location strengths include good public transport links, nearby reputable primary and secondary schools, shops, local amenities and green spaces with walking and cycling routes close by. Average local crime and deprivation levels reflect a stable, working-area community with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for commuting or remote working.
