Description

This semi-detached house features a classic bay window design and presents a promising opportunity for buyers interested in renovation or investment. While the property is in need of modern updates, it has already benefited from some improvements, including replacement windows and doors, as well as a gas-fired central heating system complete with boiler and radiators. Upon entering, you will find an entrance hallway that leads to the main living spaces. The spacious living room enjoys ample natural light thanks to the bay window and includes a fireplace equipped with an electric fire. Adjacent to this room is the dining area, which offers built-in storage solutions for added convenience. The kitchen, though dated, includes existing units and a pantry area that could be enhanced to create a more functional space. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms; one of which features fitted storage. A family bathroom completes the upper level of the home. Outside, there's a rear garden offering both a patio area suitable for outdoor dining and a grassy section for recreational activities. The front garden is modest but accessible via a gate. Located on the outskirts of Shildon, this property is within easy reach of local amenities such as shops, healthcare facilities, schools, eateries, and public houses. Additionally, the nearby railway station provides convenient access to Darlington and Bishop Auckland. The property's potential for renovation makes it an appealing option for those looking to invest in a project or enhance their living space in a vibrant community setting. Whether you're seeking to update it for personal use or looking at it as an investment opportunity to generate rental income, this home offers flexibility along with its desirable location.
