Comfortable, low-maintenance apartment steps from shops and transport.
Two double bedrooms suitable for first-time buyers or small families
A bright two-bedroom apartment in Hawkesbury Mews offers straightforward, affordable living within walking distance of Darlington town centre. The living/dining room is a comfortable size for everyday life and entertaining, while two double bedrooms suit first-time buyers, sharers or small families. An allocated parking bay and communal mature gardens add practical outdoor and parking benefits not always found with town-centre homes.
The property is secure with an intercom entry system, PVC double glazing and loft space for storage. The fitted kitchen/diner and tiled bathroom with overhead shower are ready for immediate use, keeping initial move-in costs low. Local schools rated Good to Outstanding make this a sensible location for young families.
Important practical points: the home uses Electric Economy 7 storage heaters (electric heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives), and the property is leasehold with 92 years remaining. There is a service charge of approximately £1,800 per year. The surrounding area has higher crime rates and local deprivation indicators, which may affect some buyers’ preferences.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance base close to town amenities — especially first-time purchasers or those looking to downsize — who are comfortable with an electric-heated, leasehold property and the stated service charge.
