Summary - 37 SCHOOL TERRACE, SOUTH MOOR DH9 7QN
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Affordable 2-bed starter home with renovation potential and low running costs.
Freehold two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace, approx. 796 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace offered freehold and suited to a first-time buyer or small-family seeking an affordable starter home. Inside, the layout is straightforward: lounge to the front, open-plan kitchen/diner, rear porch/utility and two double bedrooms above. Several rooms are neutrally presented and ready to personalise.
Practical benefits include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property sits on a small plot with an enclosed rear yard and a front garden. Nearby primary and secondary schools have predominantly Good Ofsted ratings, and there is local access to shops, buses and recreational amenities.
Be candid about the work needed: the exterior shows age and wear and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so external or internal insulation and modernisation could be required to improve comfort and running costs. The wider neighbourhood is a very deprived, blue-collar terrace area with a higher-than-average crime level, which will affect resale and long-term uplift potential.
This home represents a low-price entry onto the ladder with clear renovation potential. Buyers wanting a low-cost purchase with scope to upgrade will find genuine value; those seeking quiet, affluent surroundings or a move-in-perfect property should note the location and likely improvement costs.
