Description
This two-bedroom mid-terrace house is offered with vacant possession and no forward chain. The ground floor has an entrance hall with under-stairs storage, a lounge, a kitchen/dining room and a separate utility room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property would benefit from modernisation. Outside, there is an open lawned front garden and a larger enclosed rear garden, mainly laid to lawn. The house is in Ushaw Moor, around three miles west of Durham City, with village shops, schools and other local amenities, and access to the A167, A690 and public transport. It is freehold, with mains gas, electricity, water and sewerage, and on-street parking. The property is in a selective licensing area and an Article 4 Direction area; buyers should verify the implications for any intended use.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £60,000, this two-bedroom mid-terrace is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The photographed rooms show worn flooring, dated finishes and staining in several places, with visible deterioration in the kitchen and bathroom; the £36,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved. The enclosed, sizeable rear garden is a useful asset, and the exterior views show no obvious major roof failure or structural movement.
The WHOTS score is 47/100, grade E: a low overall opportunity, with limited condition and price/value scores. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the score does not establish that the asking price is either cheap or dear. The garden and scope to rework the interiors offer a clear project, but the value case remains difficult to assess without that area information.
Key opportunities
- The generous enclosed rear garden offers room to clear, maintain and landscape for outdoor living.
- The worn kitchen, bathroom and finishes across the photographed rooms give a buyer scope to create a more cohesive, modern interior.
- The two-bedroom mid-terrace includes a separate utility room and under-stairs storage, useful features to retain or incorporate into a refreshed layout.
Key risks
- Worn flooring and deteriorated finishes across several photographed rooms, including the kitchen and bathroom, make this a £36,000–£65,000 full-gut-scale programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Staining and visible deterioration in several photographed rooms need investigation to establish their cause and the work required.
