Step into a 1930s bay-fronted semi offering classic period character and practical family living on Malvern Road. The house has two reception rooms, a conservatory, three first-floor bedrooms, and a separate shower room plus WC — a layout that suits growing families or buyers seeking a spacious starter home. The long side driveway and detached garage provide reliable off-street parking while the large, private rear garden is a rare urban asset for play, gardening or future extension (subject to consent).
The property is chain free and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC of C (70), so basic running costs are reasonable and there is scope to improve efficiency further. The council tax band is B (£1,937.35). Interiors are mostly original to mid-20th century with period features such as the bay windows and picture rails; some updating throughout will release full potential and could increase value.
Buyers should note material local factors: the immediate area records very high crime and is described as very deprived, which may affect insurance, resale timing and buyer choices. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The home is within a short walk of Billingham town centre, schools and transport links, making daily life convenient despite wider neighbourhood challenges.
This is a straightforward, freehold family opportunity for someone willing to modernise and invest in the property and garden. It suits purchasers prioritising space, outdoor privacy and proximity to amenities, who understand the trade-off of a property in an area with social and safety issues.
