Summary - 17 FOUNTAINS CRESCENT HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH4 5LL
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable freehold house near good schools and fast transport links.
Two double bedrooms and generous lounge/diner
A practical two-bedroom semi in a popular Houghton Le Spring crescent, this freehold home offers straightforward family living and good access to local amenities. The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a usable four-piece bathroom — all within an average-sized 690 sq ft footprint.
The house sits close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, regular bus routes and the A690 for quick links to Sunderland and Durham. Double glazing and a mains-gas boiler mean basic running efficiency is already in place, and council tax is very cheap (Band A), helping monthly costs.
Externally the plot is small and the front and rear gardens need attention — the rear is currently overgrown and the outhouse requires inspection. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and will suit buyers happy to modernise or refurbish to unlock greater value. Note the wider area is classified as deprived with average local crime statistics, which may be relevant for some buyers.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time family buyer or investor seeking an affordable freehold property with good transport links, close schools and clear potential through modest refurbishment.
