This substantial five-bedroom Victorian terraced house blends period character and generous proportions across three floors. Stone-built with high ceilings and sash windows, the property offers two large reception rooms, a rear kitchen, utility, and sizeable rear garden with a detached garage — a strong canvas for a family or investor.
The layout includes three double bedrooms on the first floor (one with an ensuite) and two further bedrooms plus loft storage on the second floor. Practical features include a ground-floor WC, separate utility area and centrally positioned gas heating with boiler and radiators. The house is chain-free and freehold, with affordable council tax and very low local crime.
The property requires a programme of refurbishment: updating the kitchen and bathrooms, modernising electrics and heating as needed, and improving insulation (stone walls likely uninsulated; double glazing installed pre-2002). These works present clear scope to add modern comfort and value while preserving original features.
Positioned in Shotley Bridge, the home sits close to good primary and secondary schools, local shops, sports clubs and countryside walks along the River Derwent. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access to Consett, Durham and Newcastle make it practical for commuting. Overall, a character-filled, well-situated terrace with strong potential for a family or developer prepared to renovate.
