Summary - 16 FAIRVIEW TERRACE STANLEY DH9 8NR
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable three-bed terrace with parking potential and scope to modernise.
Three-bedroom stone-built mid-terrace
A traditional three-bedroom stone terraced house offering straightforward family accommodation and clear scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms, a long kitchen with utility, and a boarded loft providing useful storage — practical features for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to modernise.
The rear yard has potential for off-street parking if a dropped kerb is installed, and gas combi central heating with uPVC double glazing are already in place. The modest forecourt and compact plot keep maintenance low, while virtual 360° and walk-through tours are available for remote viewing.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a deprived area with higher-than-average crime and lies within a former mining district. The interior needs modernisation throughout (dated kitchen, basic bathroom and finishes), the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and glazing appears to pre-date 2002. The ornamental stove lacks HEATAS certification and would need checking before use.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable, freehold terrace with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, provided they accept some renovation and the local-area realities.
