Summary - 29 LEYBURN ROAD DARLINGTON DL1 2ET
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable three-bed semi with garden, garage potential and good broadband.
Three bedrooms with two reception rooms and open-plan lounge/diner
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Leyburn Road offers practical family living in Harrowgate Hill. The layout includes two reception rooms, an open-plan lounge/dining area and a functional kitchen — spaces that suit everyday family life and simple entertaining. A decent rear garden, paved front for off-street parking and a separate brick-built garage give useful outdoor and storage options.
The property dates from the 1930s–1940s, with solid brick walls and double glazing installed before 2002. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, and the EPC is graded D. These features mean the house is liveable now but has clear scope for energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation assumed absent) and cosmetic modernisation to raise long-term value and comfort.
Practical considerations are important: there is a single shower room/WC, and the property sits in an area with higher crime levels and marked local deprivation. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, which helps for remote working or streaming. For a purchaser willing to invest in targeted upgrades — insulation, possible kitchen/bathroom modernisation and general redecoration — this home represents an affordable three-bedroom semi with garden, garage potential and good connectivity.
Viewing internally is recommended to assess room proportions and scope for improvement. The freehold tenure, modest council tax band B and 818 ft² floor area make this a straightforward, budget-conscious purchase for a first-time buyer or a hands-on buyer seeking an entry-level family home.
