Summary - Viola Crescent, Sacriston, DH7 DH7 6QE
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Budget renovation project close to Durham with strong rental potential.
Chain free freehold property with low holding costs
A chain-free, three-bedroom semi in Viola Crescent, Sacriston, marketed as a clear investment or renovation project. The house sits a short distance from the village high street and is within easy reach of Durham city, local shops, and good primary schools—useful for letting or resale once modernised.
The layout includes a long lounge/diner, separate kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted after 2002 and a large rear plot with outbuildings. Council Tax is very cheap and the tenure is freehold, which reduces holding costs for investors.
The house requires significant updating throughout: cosmetic and structural attention in parts, dated interior finishes, and some floor damage in the living area. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the wider area is classified as deprived, which will affect marketability and rental expectations. EPC is C.
For a buyer prepared to renovate, the house offers clear upside: reasonable purchase price, gardens and outbuildings, and proximity to transport links and schools. For an investor, this is a project for refurbishment and re-letting or resale; for an owner-occupier it's a budget-friendly blank canvas with scope to add value.
