Compact layout best suited to first-time buyers or small families
Step into a compact Victorian end-terrace on Malpas Road, a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or small family looking for character close to Northallerton town centre. The house retains period features such as a bay window and chimney breast, and benefits from modern comforts including uPVC double glazing and a gas-fired combi boiler with radiators.
The ground floor offers a sitting room with bay window and feature fireplace, a separate dining room and a functional fitted kitchen with modern units. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom; useful built-in storage and loft access add practical space. Outside, a gated side right-of-way leads to a small private rear garden with patio area and a chipped area that could provide additional parking or a shed base.
This property is sold freehold at auction and is currently unencumbered by flood risk. It suits buyers prepared to move quickly and to carry out light updating or personalise the interior; the house is described as generally well presented but shows signs of age typical of solid-brick Victorian homes. Buyers should note the walls are likely uninsulated and there is a mention of potential damp on the chimney breast area, so some refurbishment or diagnostic work may be needed to modernise thermal performance and address localized damp.
Location is a strong selling point: easy town-centre access, good local amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make it practical for commuting or home working. Local schools are rated well and council tax sits in a lower band, which supports reasonable running costs. For anyone seeking a characterful starter home with parking and scope to add value, this is a straightforward opportunity at auction.
