Summary - 10 CRATHIE BIRTLEY CHESTER LE STREET DH3 1QJ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable three-bedroom home with gardens, garage and strong A1(M) links — ideal for first-time buyers.
Head-of-cul-de-sac location with front and rear gardens
Tucked at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, this modern three-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced home offers straightforward family living and strong commuter links. The property benefits from a full-width kitchen/dining room of about 17ft, a double-glazed conservatory, and gardens to both front and rear — practical spaces for everyday family use. A replacement combi boiler was fitted in 2022 and UPVC double glazing is installed, reducing immediate heating upgrade needs.
The house is compact (approximately 745 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, making it easier to maintain but providing limited outdoor space. The single family bathroom and modest room sizes reflect the property’s era and footprint, so buyers seeking larger living areas or additional bathrooms should expect to adapt or extend where planning and budget allow. A garage in an adjacent block provides off-street parking, but it is not integral to the house.
Location is a major practical advantage: immediate walking distance to Birtley East Primary School, quick access to local shops and buses, and easy links to the A1(M) for travel across the North East. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and council tax is low, which will appeal to first-time buyers and budget-conscious families.
Buyers should note the property lies within a coal mining reporting area and the construction is standard cavity wall from the 1967–75 period with assumed no added wall insulation; further surveys are recommended. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, and local social profile factors may concern some purchasers. Overall, this home suits first-time buyers or growing families wanting an affordable, well-located house with scope for modest updating.
