Newly renovated interior with modern kitchen and refitted bathroom
Recently refurbished throughout, this two-bedroom mid-terrace on Doxford Terrace offers a practical, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer. Interiors feel bright and neutral, with a modern kitchen, refitted bathroom and fresh carpets that create a comfortable living space across two floors. The property is freehold and of average overall size (approximately 872 sq ft).
The house includes a private driveway for off-street parking and a manageable rear garden, useful for outdoor storage, family time or low-maintenance planting. Local amenities are within walking distance: Houghton town centre shops, pubs and takeaways are nearby, with good road links to the A690 and A19. Several well-rated primary schools are close by, including an Outstanding-rated option, which is useful for young families.
There are some practical points to note. Records indicate the property currently uses electric room heaters, while refurbishment notes mention a new gas central heating system and a full rewire; these details conflict and should be checked. The area scores as deprived with average crime levels, which may affect long-term resale and lettings. Council tax is very low and flood risk is nil.
Overall, the house suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an economical, newly updated starter home with straightforward upkeep. Confirm the heating and electrical work documentation before exchange to ensure the stated renovations have been completed and certified.
