A spacious three-bedroom mid-terraced Edwardian house on Durham Road, offered chain free and with generous outdoor space. The property keeps period character — bay window, picture rails, deep skirtings and original cast fire surrounds — while providing practical modern advantages such as a mains-gas boiler, double glazing and a full re-wire completed in 2011.
Two large reception rooms and high ceilings create flexible living space for a family, home workspace or rental layout. The rear garden is large and comes with off-street parking accessed over the lane. There is also a front garden that adds kerb appeal.
Buyers should be aware the area scores as deprived with above-average local crime rates, and the garden is currently overgrown and will need tidying. The house has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and only one bathroom plus a separate W/C, so buyers wanting higher energy efficiency or additional facilities should factor in improvement costs. Overall this is a characterful property with clear refurbishment potential and strong appeal for first-time buyers or investors seeking a period terraced home near Durham transport links.
