Summary - 3 FRONT STREET WITTON GILBERT DURHAM DH7 6SR
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable two-bed with parking, garden and renovation potential near Durham.
Chain free two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house
This chain-free two-bedroom Victorian semi offers an affordable entry into Witton Gilbert. The house has two reception rooms plus a sunroom, a small garden and off-street parking — practical features for everyday living. At around 792 sq ft the rooms are modest but functional, suited to first-time buyers or a couple.
The property presents genuine development potential: rooms could be modernised, and the side extension/garage offers scope to reconfigure living space. Built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and double glazing, the house currently lacks modern wall insulation and shows dated decoration; buyers should expect renovation and possible improvement to heating efficiency.
Location is a strength — close to Durham, local schools rated well, and regular bus links. Note practical downsides: broadband speeds are slow, the immediate area records above-average crime, and the plot is small. EPC C and very low Council Tax Band A help running costs, but refurbishment and insulating works will be needed to unlock full value.
Sold freehold and offered chain-free, this property suits buyers who want an affordable starter home with short-term liveability and medium-term upside from sensible updating. Structural concerns are not indicated, but buyers should commission surveys and factor refurbishment and insulation costs into their budget.
