Turn-key two-bedroom terrace with countryside view and no forward chain — ideal for first-time buyers.
Stone-built Victorian mid-terrace with bay window and high ceilings
This traditional stone-built mid-terrace offers ready-to-move-in accommodation with period character and a pleasant countryside outlook to the front. Recently renovated throughout, the house benefits from high ceilings, a large bay window, two reception rooms and contemporary fixtures that suit first-time buyers or those seeking a low-hassle village home.
The ground floor has a 15ft lounge, separate 15ft dining room with storage and double doors to the enclosed rear yard, plus a fitted kitchen. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Double glazing and a gas combi boiler provide efficient heating, and council tax sits at the lower end for the area.
Practical considerations are straightforward: forecourt garden to the front, small enclosed yard to the rear with gated access and potential for off-street parking, but current parking is on-street. The property is offered chain-free as a probate sale — completion timings may be affected by probate matters already handled — and sits close to the A167 for commuting to Durham, Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland.
Known local constraints are factual and important: the area records higher crime and wider deprivation indicators, broadband speeds are slow and the building lies within a coal mining reporting area (further searches recommended). The stone walls are original with assumed no cavity insulation, which may be relevant for future energy upgrades. A purchaser’s chartered survey is advised to confirm building condition and any mining-related implications.
