Summary - 145 HIGHFIELD RISE CHESTER LE STREET DH3 3UY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free starter flat close to transport and town centre.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom flat, approx 592 sqft
This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers practical, compact living close to Chester-le-Street town centre and public transport. The layout includes a U-shaped kitchen, a spacious living room and a double bedroom with built-in storage — useful for a first home or buy-to-let. Constructed post-2007 and set in a well-maintained block, the property benefits from double glazing and a long lease (978 years), reducing long-term tenure concerns.
Running costs and usability are straightforward but mixed: the flat has electric storage heating and an EPC rating of C, so heating efficiency is average and energy bills may be higher than gas-heated alternatives. Council Tax Band B is relatively low. The accommodation is about 55 sqm (592 sqft), offering comfortable proportions for single occupancy or a couple.
Location is a genuine asset: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working, while nearby amenities, schools rated good and local transport links add everyday convenience. Note the local crime level is above average for the area — worth checking if security is a priority. Overall, this is a sensible, affordable option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with immediate rental or occupation potential.
