Summary - 13 Walker Street, Bowburn DH6 5BG
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Period end-terrace with private yard and good rental potential in Bowburn.
Two double bedrooms plus practical family bathroom
This two-bedroom end-terrace on Walker Street offers an affordable entry into Bowburn with straightforward accommodation over two floors. The living room benefits from a large front window and flows to a kitchen/dining area with a rear door to a private, low-maintenance yard. Two double bedrooms and a practical family bathroom sit on the first floor, making the house suitable for first-time buyers or a small family.
Built before 1900 in solid brick, the property has period form and scope for improvement. Double glazing is installed but dates from before 2002 and the external walls are assumed to have no insulation, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, window replacement) to reduce bills and increase comfort. Main heating is gas boiler and radiators on mains gas, and there is no flood risk.
Practical positives include on-street parking, very low council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. The location sits close to local shops, a good primary school and wider amenities, with Durham city within easy reach. Crime levels in the area are higher than average, which should be considered when assessing security measures or lettability.
For investors, projected rent is estimated around £650–£700pcm, offering a potential yield near 9.9% at the asking price, though refurbishment costs will affect net return. For buyers seeking a secure long-term home, this is a manageable property to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
