A chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat in central Crook offering straightforward entry at an attractive price. The 560 sq ft layout includes a generous living room, kitchen/diner with space for a table, bedroom and bathroom; gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide basic comfort and efficiency (EPC C).
This mid-terrace Victorian property suits investors seeking an affordable rental let or a first-time buyer wanting a compact town-centre base. The long lease (987 years) and low council tax band help running costs, while the town-centre location places shops, services and schools within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the local context: the area is classified as deprived with very high crime rates. The building is older stone construction with assumed no wall insulation, so there is scope and potential cost for energy upgrades or modernisation to increase comfort and rental value. A mining search is recommended due to historical workings in the locality.
Practical points: broadband availability is listed variably (slow in one source; ultrafast options noted elsewhere), mobile signal is excellent, and there is very low flood risk. Overall this is a modest, affordable flat with clear potential but material local and fabric-related considerations to factor into purchase plans.
