Summary - 18, THE CRESCENT DH2 3PT
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Well-priced renovation project with gated parking and sunny rear garden.
Freehold three-bedroom terraced house with no onward chain
A compact three-bedroom terraced house in a quiet crescent, offered freehold with no onward chain. The property sits overlooking a communal green, has gated off-street parking and an enclosed south-westerly rear garden — good for afternoon sun and private outdoor space. Interiors include a 17ft living room and a 17ft kitchen/dining room, with a Vaillant combination boiler and existing uPVC double glazing.
The house is sold as in need of renovation, priced to reflect modernisation work. This presents scope to update the kitchen, bathroom and decor, improve energy efficiency, and personalise the layout to suit a first-time buyer or investor. Buyers should note the building dates (1930s–1940s) and that the property lies in a coal mining reporting area; a chartered survey is recommended.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow locally and the area records higher crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. On the plus side, council tax is very low (Band A), mains services are connected, and the A167 provides straightforward road links to Durham, Chester-le-Street and surrounding centres. Local primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings nearby.
This home will suit a buyer seeking an affordable entry onto the ladder or a straightforward refurbishment project with immediate parking and garden space. Expect renovation costs and to factor in surveys and potential additional searches related to mining history before committing.
