Tucked on a traditional terraced street in Peterlee, this well-presented two-bedroom home blends period character with practical modern updates. The living room features a working log burner and opens into a generous dining area, creating a warm, flexible ground-floor space for everyday life and entertaining. The fitted kitchen is contemporary and provides direct access to a low-maintenance enclosed rear yard.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a sizeable four-piece bathroom with both a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. The property has double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a filled cavity wall — practical features that reduce immediate major works for the next owner.
Positioned in a small-town fringe location with good transport links (A19 within easy reach), the house sits close to shops, bus routes and local amenities. Several nearby primary and secondary schools hold Good Ofsted ratings, making this a sensible choice for first-time buyers or couples prioritising convenience and schooling options.
Buyers should note the wider area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation; this may affect insurance, resale prospects and community amenities. The plot is small and there is no garden beyond the enclosed yard. For purchasers seeking a well-priced, move-in-ready terrace with character and sensible running costs, this property offers clear potential — viewing recommended to assess suitability personally.
