This three-bedroom mid-terraced house is offered chain-free and priced attractively, making it a practical entry point for first-time buyers or investors. The property measures approximately 71sqm (764sqft) and provides sensible living space across two storeys, with a naturally bright living room and flexible additional reception room suitable for a home office or playroom.
The layout includes a kitchen/dining area and one family bathroom, with double-glazed windows and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The home has a small, low-maintenance front yard and a private rear patio with decking; parking is on-street. EPC rating C and very low council tax band A keep running costs modest.
Key benefits are the chain-free sale, affordable asking price, useful transport links, and fast broadband — practical for commuters and remote workers. Local schools include two well-rated primary options and strong independent schools in nearby Durham, which will appeal to buyers planning for children.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in an area with higher crime levels, overall floor area and plot size are small, and there is only a single bathroom. While presented as well-maintained, the house dates from the mid-20th century and may benefit from cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment to maximise value. On-street parking has no dedicated driveway.
