Summary - 81 DERWENT STREET CONSETT DH8 8LT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Freshly refurbished two-bedroom home close to local shops and trails.
Chain-free with vacant possession
A recently refurbished Victorian mid-terrace presented chain-free and ready to move into, this two-bedroom home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter in Consett. The property has been updated with a modern kitchen/diner, contemporary bathroom and newly fitted fixtures; there is an option to purchase furnished. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place and the house is offered with vacant possession.
Rooms are compact with low ceilings typical of the age; the layout makes the most of its 844 ft² with a ground-floor living room and kitchen/diner opening to a small private rear garden with an elevated seating area. On-street parking is available to the front and rear. The plot is small but low-maintenance, ideal for buyers wanting minimal garden upkeep.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the property was constructed before 1900 and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, and the listing advises that this is within a Coal Mining Reporting Area — further searches are recommended. Although the vendor is unaware of building-safety issues, a chartered surveyor is advised. The neighbourhood sits in a deprived local area classification, with average crime and ageing communities nearby.
Location is a strong selling point for local amenities and outdoor access: shops and services in Blackhill and Shotley Bridge are within walking distance, Consett town centre is around 1.5 miles away, and regional centres including Newcastle and Durham are accessible by A-roads. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and connectivity.
