Eaglescliffe is a popular residential area in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham. The property is located on Hatfield Close, which benefits from its proximity to local amenities, including Durham Lane Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and several other schools within a reasonable distance. The area also has good transport links, with Eaglescliffe train station less than a mile away, providing convenient access to major towns and cities. This contributes to a positive location score.

The property itself appears to be a three-bedroom detached house. Based on the provided images, the property shows its age and would benefit from some modernisation. The décor is dated, and some aspects, such as the kitchen and bathrooms, appear to be in need of updating. While structurally sound, the overall condition suggests a need for some refurbishment. The garden is a good size and well-maintained, which is a positive feature.

Considering the list price of £245,000 and the average price per square foot in the area of £290, more information regarding the square footage of the property is needed to accurately assess the value for money. However, comparing the list price to nearby property sales on Hatfield Close, which range from £130,000 to £176,000 for semi-detached properties, the list price of £245,000 for this detached property seems potentially high, especially given the need for modernisation. Further analysis is required to determine if the price is reasonable given the property’s condition and size. The lack of square footage information prevents a definitive assessment. The property includes features such as a fireplace and a garden shed.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
