The listed price of £175,000 seems reasonable compared to other similar properties on Courtlands Road, which range from around £108,000 to £122,000. The slightly higher price may be justified by the property’s larger size (1159 sqft) and three bedrooms. However, the required renovation work would need to be factored into any potential buyer’s assessment, impacting their final offer.

The property shows its age and requires some modernisation. While structurally sound, the interior décor, kitchen, and bathroom appear dated and in need of updating. The garden, although present, requires significant landscaping. Overall, the property is habitable but needs considerable work to improve its overall presentation and appeal to modern buyers.

The property is located in Pierremont, Darlington, which benefits from its proximity to several good primary schools (Holy Family RC Primary School, Reid Street Primary School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) within a 1km radius. The area also has relatively easy access to train stations, though slightly further out than the town centre. This balance of family amenities and transport links makes it a desirable location, but not exceptionally so.

The property includes a rear garden, which is a positive feature, but its size is not specified and appears relatively small. Also, the garden shows signs of neglect and needs attention. Hence, the moderate score reflecting the presence of some outdoor space but not large or well-maintained.
