Charming two-bed home ideal for first-time buyers seeking character and low council tax.
Victorian stone semi-detached with original period features
Two double bedrooms and one family bathroom
Front garden plus private rear courtyard with decking and astro turf
New mains-gas boiler installed August 2025
Stone walls likely uninsulated; energy improvements advised
Double glazing fitted before 2002 may need upgrading
Very slow broadband speeds in the area
Small plot and single bathroom limit extension potential
This attractive Victorian semi-detached home on Durham Road combines period character with practical living space. High ceilings, bay windows and two functioning log burners give both reception rooms warmth and charm. The property sits on a small plot with a front garden and a private rear courtyard finished with decking and astro turf.
Internally there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across an average-sized 885 sq ft layout—suitable for first-time buyers or couples seeking a manageable, characterful home. The kitchen and utility room provide everyday practicality, and a new mains-gas boiler was installed in August 2025, improving heating reliability.
Notable considerations: the stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal performance could be improved. Broadband speeds are very slow locally, and the small plot and single bathroom may limit expansion. Overall, the house offers strong character and sensible running costs (affordable council tax), but benefits from targeted upgrades to insulation, windows and connectivity.
