Summary - Lilac Avenue, Sacriston, Durham DH7 6QF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free 2 bed semi with very large gardens — budget buy near Durham.
Chain-free two-bedroom semi, freehold
An affordable, chain-free two-bedroom semi on Lilac Avenue suited to investors or first-time buyers. The property sits on a very large plot with good-sized front and rear gardens — a rare outdoor asset for a property at this price point on the outskirts of Durham.
Internally the home is compact (approx. 603 sq ft) and functional: lounge, long narrow kitchen-diner, two bedrooms and a small bathroom. Fitted double glazing and gas central heating via a combination boiler are already in place, helping running costs and tenant appeal. Broadband options include superfast and ultrafast availability, supporting rental demand.
The house requires modernisation — the kitchen is basic, dated and described as unkempt, with worn finishes visible throughout. Buyers should budget for cosmetic refurbishment and possible fixture replacements to realise rental or resale value. Energy rating D and Band A council tax help running costs, but the property sits in a deprived local area, which affects long-term capital growth prospects.
For an investor this is a low-entry buy-to-let with immediate letting potential; for a first-time buyer it offers a cheap freehold home with scope to add value through renovation. Its village setting gives good local amenities and straightforward road and bus links into Durham, about four miles away.
