Description

This semi-detached house is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, just a short stroll from Darlington Hospital and the Town Centre, making it an ideal location for both personal living and investment opportunities. The property boasts classic architectural features typical of its era but is in need of modernisation, presenting a unique chance for buyers to customise the home to their taste while enhancing its value. The ground floor features an entrance lobby that leads into a spacious lounge equipped with a fireplace and a bay window, providing plenty of natural light. Adjacent to this is a dining room that flows into the kitchen, offering potential for reconfiguration or expansion to create an open-plan living area. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms; the master bedroom also benefits from a bay window, allowing for additional sunlight. A bathroom completes this level. Externally, the property offers paved gardens both at the front and rear, presenting space for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Given its proximity to essential amenities and transport links, this property holds strong potential as a rental unit or as a long-term investment following renovation. For those interested in modifying this traditional home into something more contemporary or tailored to modern living standards, there’s ample opportunity here. Local council regulations indicate no current planning restrictions that would impede renovation efforts, making it even more attractive for prospective buyers looking to invest in improvements. This property comes with mains services including electricity, water supply, and gas heating, ensuring essential utilities are readily available. Parking is accessible on-street with resident permits available. In short, this semi-detached house not only offers comfortable living space but also represents an excellent opportunity for investors or first-time buyers willing to put in some work to realise its full potential.
