Low-maintenance two-bedroom home with garage and driveway parking.
Chain-free bungalow occupying a quiet cul-de-sac location
A well-proportioned, chain-free bungalow set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Whickham. The single-storey living space (approx. 89 sqm / 958 sq ft) offers a bright living room with twin bay windows, a practical kitchen, and a ground-floor bedroom/dining room with French doors to an enclosed rear yard. A featured spiral staircase leads to an upper hayloft bedroom, creating useful extra sleeping or guest space.
Practical benefits include a detached garage with power and lighting, driveway parking, and a recently serviced mains-gas boiler said to be installed two years ago. The plot is small and low-maintenance, which will suit buyers looking to downsize or reduce gardening chores. Transport links are convenient—near the A1 Western Bypass and Metro Centre—and local amenities and schools are good.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, reflected in the EPC rating of D. Broadband speeds are very slow here, so anyone needing reliable high-speed internet for home working should check provider options. The spiral staircase to the upper room is a distinctive feature but is steep and may be impractical for those with limited mobility.
Overall this bungalow will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement or downsizing home with garage parking and flexible accommodation. There is scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and long-term value.
