Step into a fully refurbished two-bedroom semi in Harrowgate Hill finished to a modern specification. Recent works include a full rewire, new central heating system, new kitchen and bathroom, and fresh neutral decor so the house is ready to move into with no onward chain.
The layout suits first-time buyers: a spacious front lounge with bay window, a contemporary fitted kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, and two good-sized first-floor bedrooms. Practical extras include double glazing, off-street parking via a private gated drive and a low-maintenance rear garden.
Be clear about the drawbacks: the plot is small and the property is an older solid-brick build (c.1900–1929) with no known wall insulation, so heating costs could be higher than a modern cavity-walled house despite the new gas system. Local secondary school ratings are mixed, and the property will suit buyers prioritising a turn-key starter home or buy-to-let rather than large outdoor space.
Overall this is a well-presented, affordable entry into Darlington (DL1) with very low crime, fast broadband and excellent transport links, priced attractively for first-time buyers or investors wanting a low-management property in a popular urban neighbourhood.
