Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Ayton, this one-bedroom semi-detached home offers a compact, practical layout for a first-time buyer or someone seeking to downsize. The lounge is bright and neutrally finished, with wood-effect flooring and a striking spiral staircase that leads to the first-floor double bedroom. The fitted kitchen and modern bathroom are ready to use, reducing immediate upgrade costs.
Outside there is a fully enclosed rear garden with a patio and lawn, providing private outdoor space uncommon for this size and price. The property is freehold, on mains gas with central heating via a boiler and radiators, and sits in an area with good transport links to the A1 and A19 — helpful for commuters.
Key limitations are the property's small overall size (about 401 sq ft) and compact plot, which will suit a single occupant or couple but may feel constrained for additional household needs. The spiral staircase is a noticeable feature but can be awkward for moving large items and may be unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Local crime is reported above average; buyers should weigh this against the very low council tax band and generally affluent, comfortable neighbourhood classification.
In short, this is a practical, low-cost entry property with modern fixtures and a private garden. It suits buyers prioritising affordability, location and low running costs over generous internal space or full family accommodation.
