Affordable freehold two-bed ideal for first-time buyers or investors needing refurbishment.
Freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace, town centre location
An affordable two-bedroom mid-terrace in the heart of Crook, offered freehold at a competitive price. The house provides a practical layout with a spacious kitchen-diner, a cosy front reception room and two upstairs bedrooms — an attractive starter home or rental let for an investor seeking immediate income.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C, so heating running costs should be reasonable. Practical extras include two rear outhouses and large shared yard space for bin storage and bikes. Council Tax is low (Band A), and ultrafast broadband is available — useful for home working or streaming tenants.
Buyers should note material issues before viewing. The plot is very small with a shared yard rather than a private garden. The terraced walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so further insulation or energy improvements may be needed. The area is classified as deprived with very high local crime rates and a historical mining area — a specialist mining search is recommended during conveyancing.
This home suits a cash-conscious first-time buyer looking to personalise and modernise, or an investor after a town-centre rental with strong broadband and good transport links. Viewing is recommended to assess scope for refurbishment and to judge the street-level outlook and internal condition in person.
