A three-bedroom mid-terrace with attic room and enclosed rear yard, offered chain free and priced to reflect clear upside. The property sits a short walk from Shildon town centre with regular bus links and easy road access to the A689 and A1(M).
Internally the layout is straightforward: living room with bay window, separate dining room with French doors, ground-floor kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms, bathroom and a boarded attic with skylight. The solid-brick Victorian build and double glazing provide a sound starting point for improvement, and the overall footprint (approximately 1,378 sq ft) gives scope for reconfiguration or refurbishment.
This house is best suited to investors or buyers prepared to carry out updating. The property has an EPC rating D and walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency works could reduce running costs and add value. Low purchase price, freehold tenure and chain-free sale are strong financial advantages.
Buyers should note the wider context: the area scores as very deprived with higher local crime rates and limited private outdoor space. Parking is on-street only and the rear yard is small. These factors will influence tenant demand and resale strategy, so factor in refurbishment, security and energy improvements when assessing returns.
