Summary - 15 Gilpin Street DH4 5DR
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Refitted kitchen and bathroom, chain-free and low-maintenance outdoor space.
Chain-free three-bedroom mid-terraced house, freehold
A well-presented mid-terraced home offered chain-free, with three bedrooms and two reception rooms. The interior benefits from a refitted kitchen and bathroom, neutral décor, double glazing and gas central heating for immediate comfort. The layout suits first-time buyers or small families seeking move-in-ready accommodation with manageable outdoor space.
Notable positives include off-street parking via a rear roller shutter and fast broadband and mobile signal in the area. Council tax is very low, and the property’s EPC rating C is decent for its age. The plot is small and the rear yard is low-maintenance, making upkeep straightforward.
Buyers should weigh clear local drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high crime levels and is within an ex-mining zone. The exterior shows basic finishes and there are signs the façade and yard would benefit from attention; potential damp was noted visually and should be investigated. These factors affect resale and insurance considerations.
Overall, this freehold terrace is a practical, chain-free opportunity for purchasers prioritising interior condition, low running costs and location convenience. Surveying and solicitor checks are recommended to confirm mining history, exterior repairs and any remedial work before purchase.
