This inter-war terraced house on Durham Road combines period character with practical living spaces, making it a strong choice for first-time buyers or anyone seeking a manageable, low-cost home. The property’s bay windows and a welcoming reception room give immediate kerb appeal and natural light, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area suit everyday family life and entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from a handy en suite WC and a classic bay window.
Outside, a single garage at the rear and a raised decking area provide useful parking and an easy outdoor space for relaxation. The plot is small, so outdoor maintenance is minimal but gardening options are limited. The house is freehold and has very low council tax, which helps keep running costs down.
Internally the layout is traditional and largely compact: two double bedrooms plus a single room that works well as a child’s room or home office. There is a ground-floor bathroom for convenience and a second bathroom as the master en suite. The property appears well presented in places but buyers should note room sizes are modest and should verify measurements if space is critical.
Positioned close to public transport, schools (several rated Good), local shops and green routes, this home suits buyers wanting transport links and local amenities on the doorstep. The area has average crime and an ageing industrious-worker profile; mobile signal and broadband are good. Overall this is a characterful, economical home offering straightforward living and scope to personalise.
