Summary - 65 VIOLA CRESCENT SACRISTON DURHAM DH7 6QE
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact three-bedroom house with good garden and clear refurbishment upside.
Chain free and freehold ownership
Offered chain-free and priced at £70,000, this three-bedroom semi offers clear scope for refurbishment or buy-to-let conversion. The property is freehold, gas centrally heated with double glazing, and sits in a village setting on the outskirts of Durham with regular bus links and easy A167 access.
Accommodation is straightforward: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, three first-floor bedrooms and a separate first-floor WC. The footprint is compact (approximately 589 sq ft) with decent front and rear gardens. The current EPC is D with scope to improve energy performance toward a B rating after upgrades.
The house requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic and functional works are needed in the kitchen, bathroom and external landscaping. The local area is in a deprived classification and crime is average; these factors affect resale and rental yields and should be considered in sourcing finance or tenants.
For an investor or hands-on buyer this property represents a low-entry purchase with visible upside: refurbishment, reconfiguration, and energy-efficiency improvements could materially increase value or rental income. For a first-time buyer prepared to renovate, the cheap council tax (Band A) and village amenities make this a practical, affordable starter option.
