This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Bearpark offers roomy living and expansive countryside views, presented chain-free for a quicker move. The ground floor has an open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, while three bedrooms and a wet room occupy the first floor. A generous rear garden with patio and shed backs onto open fields — a strong outdoor asset for families or gardeners.
The property requires light to moderate renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, modernising the kitchen and wet room, and general redecoration will be needed. Heating runs from a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the EPC is D. Broadband speeds are slow locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, very low council tax band, decent plot size, and no flood risk. The house dates from the 1950s–60s with filled cavity walls and standard ceiling heights. It suits buyers prepared to refresh a well-located home to benefit from lower entry price and good long-term potential.
Nearby schools include a Good-rated primary and an Outstanding secondary in Durham City; local buses and short drives make city access straightforward. In short: a sensible buy for a first-time buyer or hands-on investor seeking value and countryside outlook, but budget for renovation and slower broadband service.
