Description

This four-bedroom townhouse offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in a historic area with ties to Darlington's early railway history. The property has been in the same family for generations, preserving many original features that reflect its rich heritage. However, it is now primed for modernization, allowing new owners to personalize the space to their liking. Spanning four floors, the layout includes a self-contained basement featuring a living area, kitchen, bedroom, and shower room—ideal for guests or potential rental income. The first floor comprises an open-plan lounge and dining area, alongside a spacious kitchen that retains its original charm with a traditional range cooker and ample cabinetry. The upper levels house four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Access to the attic reveals three additional rooms, providing further versatility for expansion or conversion into functional living spaces. Externally, the property boasts an enclosed front garden bordered by a brick wall and steps leading to the entrance. A larger communal garden across the street adds appeal with established trees and greenery. Additionally, the rear courtyard features a covered area previously used as a workshop and garage with access to a service lane—offering potential for further development or alternative uses. Located on a quiet tree-lined street with no through traffic, this home provides privacy while remaining conveniently close to local amenities such as shops, schools, and transport links—including regular bus services connecting to the town center and direct routes to the A1M motorway. Heating is provided by gas central heating, with separate provisions for the cellar. Nestled within a conservation area, this property’s wooden-framed single-glazed windows contribute character while offering scope for energy efficiency upgrades. In summary, this townhouse presents not only an intriguing glimpse into history but also significant potential for modern renovations or investment opportunities in an appealing location.
