This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Great Lumley offers practical family living with sensible running costs and generous off-street parking. The layout includes a bright living room, conservatory, modern kitchen with garden access, and a recently updated downstairs bathroom — a useful convenience for busy households.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master with built-in wardrobes. The rear garden is low-maintenance with quality astroturf and a patio, while a long driveway leads to a detached single garage providing secure parking and storage. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, with council tax in Band B.
The house sits in a sought-after residential pocket close to Chester-le-Street amenities, good primary schools rated 'Good', and reasonable transport links. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the area experiences low crime, making it practical for first-time buyers, small families or downsizers seeking convenience rather than acreage.
Buyers should note the overall footprint is modest (approx. 74 sqm/797 sqft) and there is a single bathroom, which may feel limiting for larger families. The plot is small and the home, built between 1967–1975, will suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready property with scope for modest updates rather than major extension. One nearby secondary school has a lower Ofsted rating, which some purchasers may wish to consider.
