Summary - 53 LEAFIELD ROAD DARLINGTON DL1 5DF
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home near shops, transport and green space.
Freehold mid-terrace in town-centre location, walkable to station and parks
This compact mid-terrace offers straightforward, affordable accommodation in central Darlington, a short walk from shops, parks and the train station. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and three upstairs bedrooms — practical for a small family or a buy-to-let portfolio.
The house is freehold with mains gas heating, double glazing and a small enclosed rear yard. Council Tax Band A and a competitive asking price make the property accessible for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental yield. Broadband and mobile coverage are good and local schools and amenities are nearby.
There are clear areas for improvement: the EPC is rated E, walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation, and the property will benefit from modernisation throughout to unlock its full potential. The area is classified as deprived with higher local crime rates, so buyers should factor local market conditions and potential refurbishment costs into any offer.
Viewings are recommended for those seeking an inexpensive entry into Darlington’s housing market or a renovation project with good transport links; the house suits buyers who expect to invest time and budget into updating and insulating the home.
