A newly refurbished two-bedroom first-floor flat offered chain-free and ready to move into. The accommodation includes a generous living/dining room, kitchen, one double and one single bedroom, family bathroom and a large storage cupboard that could double as a utility. Recent decoration and laminate floors give the property a modern, low-maintenance feel.
Set in Newriggs, Washington, the flat sits within easy walking distance of local shops, a post office and regular bus routes. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, making the location convenient for commuting and everyday errands. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit homeworking or streaming.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold and small at about 493 sq ft, priced at £75,000 — suitable for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor. EPC grade C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable efficiency; the building has double glazing though installation date is unknown. There is no flood risk.
Notable drawbacks are the above-average local crime level and the assumed lack of cavity wall insulation (property built c. 1967–1975), which could affect running costs. Prospective buyers should check the lease length, any service charges or ground rent, and confirm all services and appliances before purchase.
