Spacious, low-maintenance executive apartment near Cockerton Green.
Approximately 1,637 sq ft duplex penthouse over two top floors
This duplex penthouse occupies the two uppermost floors of a modern gated development in Darlington’s West End. With approximately 1,637 sq ft of internal space it offers unusually large rooms for an apartment, a private terrace accessed from the master suite, and allocated plus visitor parking — qualities that suit buyers seeking low-maintenance executive living.
The accommodation is presented in a neutral contemporary style with good fixtures and fittings. The upper-floor master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower; the lower floor provides a second double bedroom, family bathroom, kitchen and a spacious lounge with elevated views over the local area. The property is sold with vacant possession and a secure-entry system for added peace of mind.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is leasehold (250 years remaining) with a ground rent of £300, electric room heaters and a current EPC rating of E (53). The development sits in an area with higher-than-average crime statistics and a high flooding risk — both important factors for insurance and personal safety planning.
This home will appeal to professionals or buyers wanting a large, easy-to-manage pied-à-terre or investment with clear rental potential. The size and terrace give scope for comfortable living, but purchasers should budget for ongoing energy costs and investigate flood and security protections before committing.
