Cozy three-bedroom home within easy reach of schools and local shops.
Chain-free freehold with very low council tax
Separate garage plus on-street parking to front and rear
Three bedrooms, separate dining and utility room
Built circa 1940 — period character and potential updating needed
Double glazing present, install date unknown
Decent plot but limited garden space — low-maintenance outside
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, near Good-rated schools
High local crime and area deprivation are notable concerns
This end-terrace house on Ripon Terrace offers practical family living across two modest floors. The layout includes a spacious reception room, separate dining room, utility room and three cosy bedrooms, providing straightforward, adaptable space for everyday life. A separate garage and on-street parking add useful storage and vehicle options.
Built around 1940, the property has period character and modern comforts such as mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). The plot is a decent size for the area but garden space is limited, suiting buyers who prefer low-maintenance outdoor space or who wish to add a courtyard garden.
Location is a strong practical asset: close to primary and secondary schools rated Good, local shops and community facilities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Transport links connect to Sunderland, Durham and the A19 for wider commutes.
Buyers should note the wider area has higher crime and socioeconomic deprivation indicators, and some internal updating may be desirable given the house’s age. Chain-free freehold tenure and very low council tax help reduce onward costs and make the property an accessible purchase for families or first-time buyers.
