A TWO-bedroom family home is the cheapest property currently for sale in Darlington - and could prove to be the ultimate bargain.

Described as an "investment" opportunity, the home on Chelmsford Street is accepting offers above £42,500 - the cheapest in the area on property site, Zoopla.

With first-time buyers or investors urged to view the property, the home is not going to auction unlike some houses advertised for as little as £5,000.

Complete with the usual rooms you'd find, although it's obvious a fair bit of work will be required, the terraced home comes with a spacious back yard.

Marketed by Venture Properties, the listing says the home has no onward chain, but admits it does need a "series of updating, and renovation" work.
