This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Leeholme Road is being offered freehold and chain-free, presenting a straightforward purchase for investors or first-time buyers. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen and a family bathroom across two floors, with bay-fronted character to the front and modest room sizes typical of Victorian terraces. Recent cosmetic refreshes are visible, and the house is ready for light refurbishment to unlock further value.
Practical benefits include easy access to the A689 and regular public transport links to Bishop Auckland, Durham and Darlington, plus on-street parking and mains services (gas heating, mains water and sewerage). Broadband options on the street are strong, with superfast and ultrafast packages available for tenants or homeowners. Council Tax is low (Band A), helping to keep running costs down.
Important considerations are factual and material: the property sits in an area classed as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the plot and external space are compact. Although interiors look recently redecorated in places, the house is best described as a renovation or investment prospect rather than a turnkey family home — some updating and potential repairs may be required to meet modern standards.
Overall this property is a low-entry-price opportunity for someone targeting rental income or a first home with scope to improve value. Its chain-free status and convenient transport links make it straightforward to acquire, but buyers should budget for refurbishment and consider local area factors before committing.
