A two-bedroom end terrace house situated in a popular location at the southern end of town that lies within walking distance of town centre shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. This end-terraced house has a larger than average frontage and large rooms. The ground floor includes a full-width living room extending to almost 19 feet with a HETAS registered multi-fuel stove and flue liner, installed in 2023. The kitchen/dining room is at the rear and a staircase leads down to the lower ground floor utility, with a door accessing the enclosed rear yard. On the first floor, there are two double-sized bedrooms and a shower room/wc. The property has a replacement roof, replacement uPVC double glazing and gas central heating via radiators with a Vaillant combination boiler. The house requires internal modernisation. It has a Freehold title and is available with no onward chain.

Situated in a sought-after area at the southern end of town, the property lies within walking distance of Chester le Street's many shops and amenities, together with the attractive Riverside Park. The town is particularly popular as it has excellent road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland, and a railway station on the main east coast line allows easy commuting and rapid access to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Surface Water Flood Risk
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
