This compact three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical, affordable entry into Darlington’s housing market. The house is freehold, has UPVC double glazing, off-street parking and a manageable rear garden — sensible features for first-time buyers or landlords looking for a straightforward, low-maintenance property.
Internally the accommodation is tidy and ready to occupy: a bright living room, a modern-finish kitchen/diner and three modest bedrooms suit everyday family life or rental use. The layout and room sizes are compact (approximately 689 sq ft), which keeps running and upkeep costs lower but limits space for larger households.
There are important considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC sits around a D rating, so energy costs could be higher than gas-heated homes and efficiency improvements would add value. The property is in an area with high crime and very high deprivation indices — buyers should weigh local social and resale factors carefully.
Overall this house represents a budget-friendly purchase for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise a home, or an investor seeking a let-ready terrace with scope to improve energy performance and yield. The small garden and off-street parking add practical appeal, while modest room sizes and neighbourhood factors define realistic expectations.
