3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale
Key information
Features and description
Positioned within the established ex-mining village of Chilton, this well-proportioned semi-detached home on Tennyson Road presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers looking to step onto the property ladder or investors seeking a practical, lettable asset with strong fundamentals.
Chilton offers a practical village setting with strong transport links and everyday amenities close at hand. Regular bus services provide easy access to Ferryhill, Spennymoor, Bishop Auckland and Darlington, while nearby road links, including the A167, make commuting across County Durham and beyond straightforward.
The village itself benefits from a range of local shops, supermarkets, healthcare facilities, schools and recreational amenities, all within easy reach. This well-connected and self-sufficient location continues to prove popular with both homeowners and tenants alike.
The ground floor is arranged with flow and functionality in mind. A welcoming entrance hallway leads through to a generously sized lounge, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. From here, the property opens into a longer-style kitchen, offering ample workspace and storage, with clear scope to personalise or modernise. To the rear, a useful utility room and ground floor WC add everyday convenience rarely found at this level of the market.
Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. The first floor provides three bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom, a further comfortable double, and a third room well-suited as a single bedroom, home office, or nursery. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, all accessed via a central landing that keeps the space feeling well connected and practical.
To the rear, the property opens onto a generous enclosed garden, predominantly paved for low maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor seating, entertaining, or future landscaping. The secure boundary fencing provides privacy and a practical outdoor space that will appeal strongly to both families and tenants.
With strong rental demand in the area, straightforward accommodation, and scope to add value, this is a property that makes sense whether you’re buying your first home or expanding your investment portfolio.
