Set on an elevated plot with broad countryside views, this 1930s detached house offers spacious family living across multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms. The ground floor features a modern kitchen, utility room and a conservatory that floods the lounge with light, while established gardens and off-street parking provide privacy and practical outdoor space.
Practical benefits include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and versatile garage/workspaces at the rear. The recently renovated family bathroom is a plus for families, though there is a single main bathroom serving four bedrooms.
Buyers should note some clear drawbacks: the property's cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and future insulation work. Council tax is expensive for the band, and the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation levels compared with regional averages. The converted garage would need reversing if a traditional garage is required.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial family house in a semi-rural village with strong commuting links to Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle. It offers genuine scope to personalise and improve energy performance while enjoying generous rooms, mature gardens and commanding views.
