2 bed flat for sale

Ritsons Court, Blackhill, Consett, Durham DH8

Located in the popular area of Blackhill, this well-kept first floor apartment offers an exciting opportunity for both investors and first-time buyers. Currently tenanted and generating a steady rental income, it’s a ready-made investment – but also available with vacant possession, offering flexibility for those looking to move in themselves or re-let at their own pace.

Positioned on an upstairs corner plot, the property benefits from elevated views across the valley, giving it a bright and open feel throughout. Inside, the layout features two generously sized double bedrooms and a spacious living room, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The living space offers plenty of room for both a comfortable seating area and a dining setup.

The kitchen, though compact, is cleverly laid out and filled with natural light thanks to a well-placed skylight. It’s a practical and functional space for everyday cooking. The bathroom is modern and low-maintenance, adding to the overall convenience of the property.

One of the standout features of this apartment is the amount of private and additional space it offers – something rarely found in similar homes. There’s a spacious loft providing excellent storage potential, and a private external storage cupboard located just outside the front door on the landing. About the size of a small shed, it’s perfect for keeping tools, paint, or other bits neatly tucked away. The property also benefits from a private yard, providing a bit of outdoor space, ideal for sitting out or additional storage.

To the front, the apartment comes with dedicated private parking, offering off-street convenience for residents or visitors – a real bonus in this location.

The property is leasehold, with 125 years from 17 July 2003, and a ground rent of just £75 per year, making it a low-maintenance and affordable option. The location in Blackhill is popular with renters and buyers alike, thanks to its proximity to local shops, amenities, transport links, and easy access into Consett town centre.

With the benefit of either keeping the current tenant in place or taking vacant possession, this property provides real flexibility. It’s ideal for expanding a rental portfolio, getting started on the property ladder, or downsizing with ease.
