Set on Greathead Crescent overlooking a communal green, this three-bedroom mid‑terraced house offers a straightforward, affordable entry into the Newton Aycliffe market. The ground floor has a large lounge and a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room; upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The property is freehold and has low flood risk.
The house presents clear investor appeal: the layout, modest size (approx. 754 sq ft) and local rental demand indicate a healthy potential yield. Council Tax band A and on-street parking keep running costs low. The front is low‑maintenance with a rear lawned garden.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime, broadband speeds are slow and rooms are generally small. The property dates from the 1950s–60s and shows signs of being dated in places, so some updating or refurbishment is likely to maximise comfort and rental or resale value.
This home will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable, manageable starter home or investors looking for rental potential who are prepared to carry out cosmetic improvements. A chartered survey is recommended to confirm structural and services details prior to purchase.
