Summary - 19 FOUNDRY STREET SHILDON DL4 2HE
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home or buy-to-let near good transport links.
Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms
A well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace offering immediate vacant possession and flexible living over two floors. The house has two reception rooms and a spacious ground-floor bathroom, making it easy to live in from day one or to let out straight away.
Practical advantages include a BAXI gas combi boiler still under warranty until February 2027 and a valid EICR completed April 2025 (next due 2030). The property is freehold, has double glazing and an EPC rating of D — sensible basics already in place for comfort and safety.
Be realistic about running and improvement costs: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the house dates from the early 20th century, so further insulation or modernisation could be needed to improve efficiency. The area is in a very deprived locality with higher-than-average crime rates, which may affect insurance and long-term resale values.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, move-in-able starter home or an investor wanting a town-centre let close to local amenities and transport links. Council tax is very low, and the town offers good schools and convenient links to Bishop Auckland, Darlington and Durham.
