This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lakeside, Darlington, is a straightforward renovation project offered chain-free and ready for new owners to personalise. Set in a popular South Park location, the property benefits from open front views, off-street parking and decent front and rear gardens that increase usable outdoor space.
Inside, two reception rooms and a long kitchen provide practical family living and flexible layouts. The accommodation totals around 1,001 sq ft (93 m2) and includes a refitted bathroom; many fixtures and services (boiler, radiators, double glazing) are present but the house needs renovation and updating throughout.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the area has higher-than-average crime and pockets of deprivation, EPC is currently TBC, and the property is being sold with a public notice—an offer of £157,100 has been received and higher written offers must be submitted before exchange. Flood risk is very low and broadband/mobile coverage is good, which supports modern working-from-home needs.
This house will suit a buyer wanting value and scope to add equity—first-time buyers prepared to refurbish or investors seeking a project. Expect cosmetic and systems work rather than a move-in-ready home; the price reflects that potential and the convenience of a quick, chain-free sale.
