Affordable fixer with garage and gardens close to Durham and Chester-le-Street.
Three bedrooms with practical, conventional two-storey layout
A three-bedroom semi-detached house in Nettlesworth offering practical family space and clear refurbishment potential. The layout includes an entrance hall, sizeable lounge/dining room with a feature fireplace, kitchen with separate utility, and three bedrooms upstairs. A driveway and attached single garage provide useful parking and storage, while modest front and rear gardens deliver low-maintenance outdoor space.
The property is offered freehold with immediate vacant possession and a council tax band assessed as cheap (Band B). Located just off the A167, it has straightforward road links to Chester-le-Street and Durham and sits close to local amenities and several Ofsted-rated primary and secondary schools, making it suitable for buyers seeking practical commuter access and village living.
This house needs renovation: kitchen, bathroom and general modernisation are required to bring the interior up to contemporary standards. The area shows higher-than-average crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which may affect resale and rental demand. The small overall size (approximately 666 sq ft) and compact plot suit first-time buyers or investors prepared to upgrade rather than those seeking a large family home.
For buyers who value location and affordability, this property represents an opportunity to add value through refurbishment. Be prepared for a jobs list and budget for modernisation works to realise the full potential of the accommodation.
