This spacious two-bedroom end-terrace blends Victorian character with a contemporary open-plan kitchen-diner, ideal for first-time buyers seeking space and style without extensive upkeep. The light-filled living area and modern kitchen provide ready-to-use accommodation on an average-sized footprint of about 712 sq ft. The property is offered chain free and on freehold tenure, simplifying purchase.
Upstairs offers two double bedrooms, with the master including an en-suite shower and dressing area — a useful convenience rarely found in similar homes. The fully enclosed rear garden includes a paved patio, providing a low-maintenance outdoor space for relaxing or small-scale entertaining. The plot is small, so buyers wanting larger gardens should note limited outside space.
The house sits in Ushaw Moor with local shops, amenities and regular bus links to Durham nearby; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. Several nearby schools are available, though some local state schools are rated as "Requires improvement," balanced by higher-rated options in the wider area. The neighbourhood shows signs of economic deprivation, which may influence longer-term resale considerations.
Practical points: the property is awaiting an EPC, and council tax is very low. There is no known flood risk. Overall this home suits first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a ready-to-live-in, low-maintenance house with character and modern living space.
