Step into a straightforward, chain-free Victorian mid-terrace offering affordable entry to the DH2 market. The house has a spacious lounge and a practical kitchen/diner with a small enclosed rear yard — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor space. Two bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom suit a couple, small family, or buy-to-let investor looking for immediate rental potential.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (pre-2002), and fast broadband — useful for everyday comfort and working from home. The property is freehold with very low council tax (Band A), and good commuter links via the A693 and A1 to Newcastle and Durham.
Be aware this is an older terraced home in a working-class area with modest-sized rooms and a small plot. The EPC is D and the glazing predates 2002, so further energy improvements are possible. Parking is on-street only, and the neighbourhood is mixed in socio-economic profile, which may affect long-term resale expectations.
This house suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, chain-free starter home or investors wanting a straightforward rental in a well-connected location. It needs little immediate work to be liveable but offers scope for cosmetic upgrades, energy improvements, and modest value-add refurbishment.
