Summary - 2 HOPGARTH COURT CHESTER LE STREET DH3 3SE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable low-cost entry near town centre and Riverside Park.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with ensuite bathroom
Set in a small, private courtyard cul-de-sac, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Chester-le-Street. The layout is straightforward: entrance, lounge, kitchen, double bedroom and an ensuite bathroom, with allocated parking and shared outside space just outside the door. Its compact footprint and practical plan suit a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance living or an investor wanting a lettable city-centre location.
The home benefits from a very long lease (962 years), low annual ground rent (£30) and low council tax (Band A), reducing ongoing costs. uPVC double glazing and electric storage heaters are already installed; broadband and mobile signals in the area are strong for reliable connectivity. The site is within easy walking distance of the town centre, Riverside Park, shops, rail services and major road links to Durham and Newcastle.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is small (approx. 434 sq ft) and uses electric storage heating, which may be costly compared with gas. The area is in a coal mining reporting zone so further searches are recommended. Crime in the immediate area is above average. The building is managed by a residents’ company; prospective purchasers should review the management arrangements and any covenants.
Overall this flat is a sensible, affordable option for a buyer wanting a central, well-connected one-bedroom home or an investor seeking straightforward rental potential. A pre-purchase survey is recommended to confirm condition and any specific building or site matters.
