Summary - 20 EVELYN TERRACE STANLEY DH9 7RN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home with renovation upside near schools and transport.
Chain-free freehold Victorian mid-terrace, pre-1900 construction
This Victorian mid-terrace on Evelyn Terrace is a compact, chain-free freehold presented as a practical starter home or buy-to-let. The property has two double bedrooms, a front lounge with feature fireplace and a fitted kitchen with modern appliances. Its long front garden and enclosed rear yard add outdoor space rare for similar terraces.
The house is solid-brick (pre-1900) with double glazing fitted before 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. These features give immediate comfort, but the solid walls are assumed uninsulated — there is scope (and cost) to add insulation and modernise heating efficiency. Internal rooms are average in size across an 879 sq ft layout and suit buyers looking for an affordable, manageable property.
Location strengths include very fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to several 'Good' primary and secondary schools, local shops and public transport. Important practical negatives are the very high local crime rate and wider area deprivation, which will influence resale and rental demand. Council tax is very low, and the house has no flooding risk.
Overall, this cottage-style terrace offers a low-entry purchase price and clear renovation upside. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting an affordable home to personalise, a buyer seeking a small rental income opportunity, or a downsizer wanting compact, central living — but buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and factor local safety considerations into their decision.
