Summary - 1 WALLACE STREET HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH4 5BG
2 bed 2 bath House
Compact 2/3-bed terrace — move-in ready with ensuite and secure rear storage.
Freehold mid-terrace with gas central heating and double glazing
This compact mid-terraced home offers practical, well-presented living across two floors — a clear fit for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central Houghton Le Spring accommodation. The ground floor has a welcoming hallway, a spacious lounge with a media wall and a separate dining room that gives flexible living and entertaining space. The fitted kitchen and modern ground-floor bathroom are move-in ready.
Upstairs the property provides a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite, plus a generous second room that has been partitioned to create an additional bedroom and a home office. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place, and the small rear yard includes secure external storage. The house is freehold and the council tax level is very low, which helps running costs.
Important practical points: the plot and overall footprint are small, typical of terraced homes, so outdoor space and storage are limited. The wider neighbourhood shows high deprivation indicators and recorded crime levels are very high; this will affect living experience and rental demand/insurance costs. On the positive side, mobile signal and broadband are strong and the location is close to local amenities, schools and transport links, supporting both family and rental appeal.
For buyers wanting a straightforward purchase with immediate occupancy or a lettable property in a central location, this home offers solid value. Buyers prioritising larger gardens, quieter streets or a low-crime neighbourhood should note the area profile and consider viewing other options.
