This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Albert Road offers a budget entry into Consett's town-centre housing market. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits a short walk from the town’s shops and local amenities, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors prepared to update. The layout includes a lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner with utility area, two double bedrooms and a rear enclosed yard.
The house is stone-built with double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. It requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely damp attention at the exterior stonework, and the walls appear uninsulated, so expect improvement works to increase comfort and energy efficiency. The compact total area (approximately 732 sq ft) suits buyers who want manageable space and lower running costs.
Location is convenient with several good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby and a full range of local shops and services within walking distance. Be aware the area registers high crime and broader social deprivation indicators, which may affect resale values and tenant demand. Council tax is very low, and the property carries potential for uplift after refurbishment for owner-occupation or rental income.
