A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment offering comfortable modern living in a small contemporary cul-de-sac. The open-plan lounge flows into a fitted dining kitchen with high-gloss units and integrated appliances, creating an easy, social layout ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers. Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in wardrobes and the bathroom includes a bath plus rain shower. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C rating.
Practical extras include a private garden area, off-street parking and very long leasehold tenure (967 years remaining). The location is well connected — Chester-le-Street town centre, local shops and the mainline railway station are all within easy reach, and road links serve Durham, Newcastle and Sunderland. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are good, supporting home working or streaming.
Buyers should note the wider area context: local indices show high crime levels and area deprivation, and the wider classification flags limited local aspiration. The building dates from the late 1990s–early 2000s; double glazing install date is unspecified and routine maintenance or updates may be needed over time. Tenure is leasehold, so check any service charges or ground rent details before committing.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented flat that suits first-time purchasers seeking a well-connected, low council-tax home with straightforward living space and scope for modest personalisation.
