This two-bedroom terraced house in Houghton le Spring presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. The property is located in an area with access to several schools, rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. This is a definite plus for families. However, more information is needed on the exact location to fully assess its desirability compared to other streets nearby. The average property price in nearby streets shows some variation and further research would be required to confirm the property’s position.

In terms of condition, the house is in need of modernisation. The images reveal dated decor, a tired kitchen, and bathrooms needing an upgrade. Carpets also show wear, indicating a need for replacement. A potential buyer should budget for significant renovation costs.

The outdoor space consists of a small yard; not large, but it still provides a small area for relaxation or potential for a small garden. There is also the benefit of what seems like a shared garage and additional parking.

The listing price appears relatively competitive based on nearby properties. However, the extent of renovation work required should be factored into any offer. A comprehensive survey is crucial before making a final decision, in order to assess potential structural issues or necessary repairs that could alter the final cost. Potential buyers would therefore benefit from getting multiple valuations before committing to a purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
