This well-presented four-bedroom mid-terrace combines early 20th-century character with a large contemporary rear extension. The extension creates a light, open kitchen/dining space with a glazed canopy and bi-fold doors, while original features such as bay windows and fireplaces remain in the reception rooms. The master suite sits on its own top floor with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite — a practical layout for families or sharers.
The house is offered as a turnkey home: modern kitchen appliances are integrated, heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators, and double glazing is fitted throughout. Practicalities are straightforward — freehold tenure, council tax band B, EPC rating C and a small enclosed rear yard with shed. Local amenities, primary schools rated Good, and direct links to the A167/A1 make this a convenient commuter base for Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the property’s overall footprint is relatively small (approximately 1,029 sq ft) and the front and rear outside spaces are modest. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, and the exterior walls are cavity-built with no confirmed retrofit insulation, which could mean higher running costs or future upgrade work. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space or larger plots should note the compact plot size.
In summary, 22 Lumley Terrace will suit a family or professionals seeking ready-to-move-in accommodation with modern living space and strong transport links. It offers immediate comfort and period charm, with some potential for future energy-efficiency improvements and limited external space.
