46 Cookson Terrace,CHESTER LE STREET,DH2 2AW
DH2 2AW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large rear garden and strong transport links; ideal for investor refurbishment.
Freehold two-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced house
A straightforward two-bedroom mid-20th-century terrace offered freehold and set on a large plot with a lawned front and a substantial rear garden. The layout includes a 15'5" lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms—practical proportions for rental or first-time purchase. Good public transport links and nearby shops and stations support easy commuting and tenant demand.
The interior needs renovation: visible ceiling damage in the living room and general cosmetic updating throughout. Heating is by wall-mounted radiators, UPVC windows are in place, and there is loft access and useful built-in storage—these reduce immediate major works but further investment will improve comfort and value. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong.
This property suits investors seeking an entry-level buy-to-let in a popular terrace location or buyers prepared to DIY to add value. The area is classified as deprived with very high crime rates—this will affect rental income, resale, and mortgage/insurance options. Prospective buyers should factor in security measures and ongoing local management costs.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, sizeable rear garden (gardening or extension potential subject to consent), and proximity to several good primary schools and local amenities. The realistic asking price reflects the need for works; buyers wanting a turnkey home should expect to budget for full refurbishment.
