Tucked on the fringe of Shildon, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a straightforward, single-level layout ideal for buyers looking to downsize or simplify. The lounge, separate dining room and two well-proportioned bedrooms give comfortable living space without stairs, while an enclosed front garden, gravelled rear garden and single garage add easy outdoor maintenance and private parking.
The home is gas‑heated via a boiler and radiators and benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C, so running costs should be reasonable. The kitchen has fitted units with integrated oven and hob and plumbing for appliances, and the bathroom includes a mains-shower over the bath. Broadband speeds are high (ultrafast available), which suits home working or streaming.
Notable considerations are factual: the property sits in an area of higher-than-average crime and very high area deprivation, and it lies within a historic mining area — a specialist mining search is recommended during conveyancing. The bungalow dates from the late 1960s–1970s and shows a traditional finish; buyers should expect some updating or cosmetic works to modernise fittings to personal taste.
Overall this freehold bungalow is a practical, low‑maintenance option for downsizers or first-time buyers prioritising single-level living, private parking and good broadband, provided they are comfortable with the local area profile and carry out the recommended searches.
