Summary - 133 LANSDOWNE STREET DARLINGTON DL3 0NH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable Victorian terrace opposite park — good starter or rental opportunity.
Victorian mid-terrace with bay window and street views over North Park
This mid-terrace Victorian townhouse offers straightforward, affordable accommodation in Darlington with genuine potential for first-time buyers or landlords. The house sits opposite green space with bay-windowed street views and a south-facing rear yard that captures afternoon sun. Internally there are two good-sized reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a practical kitchen and bathroom across 764 sq ft.
The property is freehold, gas centrally heated via a combi boiler and fitted with UPVC double glazing. Council tax is low (Band A), and the terrace’s solid brick construction and period features give scope for sympathetic upgrades. The modest rear yard is low-maintenance and private, suited to simple outdoor living or container gardening.
Buyers should note material negatives clearly: the area is very deprived with a high local crime rate, which will affect desirability and rental yields. Walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built), so improving thermal performance will be required to reduce running costs and meet modern standards. The plot is small and room sizes are average for a terraced house, limiting extension potential without planning.
Overall this is a competitively priced, well-presented period terrace that suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting lettings in a city location. Value will come from modest modernisation, insulation improvements and letting to local demand.
