Starter home or low-cost investment close to shops and market.
Freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace, c.799 sq ft
A compact, freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace on Rowlandson Terrace offered at a low entry price. The house has been maintained in recent years, benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, and provides comfortable, well-proportioned rooms over about 799 sq ft. Practical features include an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and an easy-to-maintain enclosed yard.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor looking for a low-cost purchase in a town-fringe location. The accommodation is straightforward and ready for immediate occupation, though there is scope to personalise and modernise to increase value.
Notable practicalities: the EPC is rated D and the property dates from the early 20th century with cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated, so energy efficiency upgrades would be beneficial. The plot is small, on-street parking is typical, and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale values and demand.
Local amenities are within walking distance, including shops and Ferryhill market place, and schools rated Good–Outstanding are nearby. Council Tax is low (Band A), making running costs relatively cheap compared with many properties.
