Affordable Victorian terrace — chain free, ideal for investors or first-time buyers prepared to update.
Chain free and attractively priced at £70,000
A traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace in the Denes area, offered chain free and attractively priced for investors or first-time buyers. The house retains a Victorian brick façade, has gas central heating, double glazing and practical room sizes — lounge, kitchen with space for a small breakfast table, and two first-floor bedrooms. Total floor area is approximately 636 sq ft.
This property is best suited to someone seeking a low-entry purchase with clear potential: it has previously let successfully and sits within easy walking distance of Darlington town centre, local shops, schools and Darlington Hospital. Nearby Dene Park is a convenient green space for residents.
Materials and condition are basic: the property is of solid brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), areas are dated and the interior would benefit from modernization. The plot is very small and the immediate neighbourhood has higher-than-average crime levels and notable area deprivation — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers. Council tax is very cheap, and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
In short, this is a practical, low-cost opportunity for an investor seeking a rental or a buyer prepared to update a straightforward Victorian terrace. Important negatives are the very small garden/plot, need for refurbishment to modern standards, and local area challenges; positives are the price, no onward chain and central location.
