A modern two-bedroom semi-detached home built in 2014, presented as a turnkey short‑let investment in a quiet village setting near Durham. The open-plan ground floor and compact, contemporary kitchen create low-maintenance living that works well for holiday or long-term lets. The vendor is offering the property with no onward chain and there is an option to purchase fully furnished, simplifying immediate rental occupation.
Current use as an Airbnb demonstrates practical rental demand; estimated rental of £650 pcm suggests a gross yield of just over 7% at the asking price. The property includes a private garden, off-street parking and decent plot size—features that appeal to tenants and holiday guests. Fast broadband and nearby good-rated schools add to lettability for families or remote workers.
Important practical points: the second-floor attic room has restricted head height and is not full-height accommodation. An EPC is awaited (previously indicated as C), and the area records above-average crime—prospective buyers should assess insurance and security costs. At 711 sq ft the house is modest in size, so expect compact rooms and efficient storage rather than spacious living.
Overall this is a straightforward, chain-free investment or first buy with immediate rental potential and minimal initial refurbishment required. Buyers seeking larger family accommodation or full-height third-floor rooms should look elsewhere, but investors and small-household buyers will value the turn-key opportunity and village location.
