This compact two-bedroom semi offers an affordable entry into Darlington with practical outdoor space and off-street parking. The layout is straightforward: lounge with bay window, fitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and two bedrooms upstairs — well suited to a first home or a rental let. Heating, mains gas boiler and double glazing are in place; council tax is very low (Band A), helping keep running costs down.
The property sits on a small plot with a front driveway and an enclosed rear garden with patio and shed. Built in the early 20th century with solid brick walls, the house has period character but limited insulation and an EPC rating of D. Internal presentation is generally sound but some updating would improve energy performance and comfort.
Important considerations: the local area shows higher crime levels and very high deprivation, which affects resale and tenant demand in places. The house is small (approximately 415 sq ft) and will suit buyers who prioritise affordability over space. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, and nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings, which supports family use.
Overall, this freehold semi-detached home represents a low-cost opportunity for a first-time buyer wanting a compact, manageable house to personalise, or for an investor seeking a straightforward let in Darlington. Viewings are recommended for anyone needing modest space with outside parking and a private garden, but be realistic about potential refurbishment and the local area context.
