Chain-free two-bed ground-floor apartment with allocated parking and long lease — ideal for investors.
Chain-free ground-floor apartment with 106 years remaining on lease
This chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Carrville offers straightforward open-plan living and an attractive long lease (106 years). Built in the early 2000s, the flat benefits from modern fittings, double glazing and gas central heating, making it easy to prepare for rental or immediate occupation.
Arranged with an open-plan living room/kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with en suite) and a separate bathroom, the layout suits couples, sharers or a buy-to-let setup. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical appeal in a well-connected suburb with easy access to Durham city centre, the A690 and A1(M).
The property is small (c.582 sq ft) which supports strong rental demand but limits furniture/layout flexibility. It is leasehold, so buyers should check the remaining lease terms, service charge and ground rent. No major flood or fuel risk is indicated and council tax is low (Band B), which helps running costs for tenants.
Overall this is a straightforward investment proposition for someone seeking a low-entry, chain-free apartment in an affluent, commuter-friendly area. The home’s modern specification reduces immediate maintenance needs, but buyers should verify communal charges and any planned works before completion.
