Summary - Water Lily Drive, Darlington DL1 1LQ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, low-cost two-bedroom home with parking and garden — ideal for first-time buyers.
Freehold two-bedroom terraced home, ideal for first-time buyers
This compact two-bedroom terraced house on Water Lily Drive is a practical, modern starter home in Darlington DL1. The layout is efficient: lounge to the rear, kitchen/diner to the front, a ground-floor cloakroom and two bedrooms upstairs. The property is freehold, has off-street parking and a low-maintenance rear garden — useful everyday assets for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
Internally rooms are modest in size, with one bedroom currently subdivided by a curtain partition; the footprint totals about 481 sq ft, so expect cosy living rather than generous proportions. The finish is modern and broadly in good order, with a C-rated EPC and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband and mobile signal are strong locally.
Location offers convenience: nearby shops, colleges and several primary and secondary schools rated Good. The immediate area is a recent residential development, and the property benefits from private parking and a secure, enclosed garden. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Important drawbacks: the home sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime statistics — this may affect security and resale perceptions. The small overall size and compact room dimensions limit expansion potential; any buyer seeking significant space or higher-end finishes should expect to invest in alterations. Measurements are approximate and should be verified.
