A two-bedroom semi-detached home on Bright Street offering 914 sq ft of practical living space and a deceptively large rear garden. The property is chain free and benefits from a new boiler installed May 2021 with a 10-year warranty, double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it ready to occupy with minimal immediate disruption.
Interior accommodation includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a first-floor bathroom serving both bedrooms. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking expanded living space or investors targeting a straightforward buy-to-let; room proportions are sensible and the garden adds rental and family appeal. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong for the area.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the building is an older solid-brick construction (c.1900–1929) likely without wall insulation, the EPC is grade D, and the area scores as deprived which can affect resale and rental yields. The plot is small and neighbours are in close proximity, so external privacy and scope for extension are limited without planning checks.
Overall this home presents clear value for money at the asking price, particularly for buyers willing to refresh interiors to maximise value. Practical benefits such as low council tax (Band B), freehold tenure, and good transport links make it a sensible, lower-cost entry into the Darlington market.
