Turn-key 2-bed terraced home with parking and modern kitchen, long lease and low council tax.
No Forward Chain — ready to move in
A ready-to-move-in two-bedroom mid-terrace on Fines Road, freshly modernised and offered with No Forward Chain. The layout is traditional and practical, with a bright lounge featuring a multi-fuel stove, a large contemporary kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances, and a useful rear porch that could serve as a utility. Two good-sized first-floor bedrooms and a walk-in shower room complete the accommodation.
Practical benefits include gas central heating to radiators, double glazing, an EPC rating of C, and low council tax (Band A). Outside, there’s a low-maintenance front garden and a generous rear yard with two brick storage sheds and off-street parking space large enough for two vehicles — the yard could also be used as additional parking or a low-care outdoor area.
Important factual points: the property is leasehold (long lease in place — c.672 years remaining on the 999-year term), broadband speeds are limited in the area (standard to superfast up to c.39Mbps), and restrictive covenants apply. The house sits within a former mining area and the cavity walls are assumed to be without added insulation. These are practical considerations for buyers to note alongside the modernised finish.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a turnkey property in a village setting with easy access to Consett and commuter routes to Durham and Newcastle. The combination of updated interior, off-street parking and low running costs make it a straightforward purchase, provided you’re comfortable with leasehold tenure and the local infrastructure notes above.
