Compact home with garden and renovation potential near schools and transport.
Vacant possession; three bedrooms over two floors
This three-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house on Third Avenue offers an affordable entry into Chester-le-Street with vacant possession and scope to add value. The property retains period character externally, benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, and sits on a very large plot with both a front garden and rear yard.
Internally the layout comprises a bay-fronted living room, long kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms over two floors. Rooms are modest in size (total about 610 sq ft), so the home suits buyers seeking a compact family home or an investor aiming for rental income. The combination boiler and radiators are in place, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The house is in a very deprived, high-crime area and double glazing was installed before 2002; some updating is likely required to modernise finishes and maximise value. Despite local challenges, nearby good primary and secondary schools and close transport links make this practical for families and tenants. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and renovation potential.
In summary: a budget-priced period terrace with renovation upside and garden space, best suited to buyers prepared for improvements or investors targeting affordable housing in a major conurbation.
