This vacant, chain-free mid-terrace Victorian house offers approximately 990 sq ft of well-presented living space, recently updated with a new kitchen, boiler and contemporary shower room. Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms give flexible layout options suited to first-time buyers or young couples wanting room to grow. The rear rooms enjoy elevated views towards Penshaw Monument, bringing a pleasant outlook to everyday living.
The property is practical and move-in ready in many respects, but buyers should note the EPC rating of E and assumed lack of cavity wall insulation, which may result in higher running costs. The plot is small with a modest rear yard and parking is on-street only. Some rooms have lower ceiling heights consistent with the period build.
Set in a quiet small-town fringe location with good bus links to Durham and Chester-le-Street, the house sits close to several primary and secondary schools rated Good. Council Tax is low (Band A), and the combination of vacant possession, freehold tenure and recent updates make this an attractive, affordable entry onto the market for buyers prioritising location and ready-to-live-in condition rather than full-scale renovation.
