Comfortable three-bedroom terraced house offering solid space and clear potential in Hetton le Hole. The property’s traditional brick construction, double glazing and mains gas central heating make it liveable from day one, while the large overall footprint (approximately 1,313 sq ft) gives scope to improve layout, add storage or update finishes over time.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a practical family base: there are three bedrooms, a reception room and separate dining room, plus a modest garden area. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary schools have Good Ofsted ratings — useful for young families. Council tax is very low, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership.
Be clear about the work that may be needed: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, and some rooms show signs of ceiling mould and cosmetic wear. The area is classified as deprived with high local crime rates and fewer affluent amenities; that context may affect future resale value and suitability for buyers prioritising low-crime neighbourhoods. The property is presented generally immaculate but will benefit from targeted modernization and insulation upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.
Overall, this is a large, well-located terraced house with immediate usability and honest upside for buyers willing to invest in refurbishment and energy improvements. It represents a practical, affordable entry into homeownership in DH5 for those prepared to make selective improvements.
