Two-bedroom Victorian terraced house, freehold
Close to Darlington Memorial Hospital and town transport links
Small internal area (~551 sq ft); compact room sizes
Enclosed rear yard; limited outdoor space
Low running costs: Council Tax Band A
Very deprived local area; consider resale implications
EPC rating not specified; potential efficiency upgrades needed
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband availability
This compact two-bedroom terraced house on Coronation Street is a pragmatic choice for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into Darlington’s property market. The bay-fronted living room, fitted kitchen and enclosed rear yard deliver straightforward, usable space across two floors. The property is freehold and benefits from low Council Tax (Band A), making ongoing running costs attractive.
Location is a clear strength: the house sits in the Denes area with excellent transport links to the town centre and is close to Darlington Memorial Hospital. Broadband speeds are good and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or streaming. The home’s modest size and practical layout suit a couple, small family or single buyer looking to personalise rather than relocate.
Buyers should note the material limitations candidly: overall living space is small (around 551 sq ft) and the plot is compact with a small enclosed yard rather than a garden. The wider area scores as very deprived and local crime is average — factors to consider for long-term resale and neighbourhood amenities. EPC rating isn’t specified in the details provided, so buyers may wish to obtain energy information and budget for any efficiency improvements.
For investors, the property’s size, location near key services and low running costs make it a typical buy-to-let candidate in this part of Darlington, though rental demand and yields should be considered in the context of local socio-economic indicators. For owner-occupiers, the house offers immediate usability with scope to modernise and personalise rooms to increase comfort and value.
