This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Paragon Street offers a practical, well-proportioned layout suited to growing families. The property features a large, modern kitchen/diner with patio doors to a deck and a spacious lounge; downstairs benefits from useful understairs and hall storage. Front and rear gardens are a genuine asset — low-maintenance gravel to the front and a decent lawned rear with decked seating for family life and outdoor play.
Comfort and running costs are reasonable: UPVC double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and an EPC rated C. The home is freehold and being sold chain-free, making it straightforward for a buyer to move quickly. Local amenities are strong for village life — convenience stores, bakery, café and an outstanding primary school are all close by, with road links to Durham, Darlington and Newcastle for commuters.
Be clear about a few factual points: there is a single family bathroom and the house sits in an area of historical mining works, so a mining search is recommended during conveyancing. At the foot of the garden there is an access strip for the water board; buyers should check rights and any maintenance obligations with their solicitor. Broadband and mobile coverage are average-to-good locally, and council tax is low (Band A).
