Summary - 18 LEECHMERE CRESCENT SEAHAM SR7 0JJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable three-bed with garden and clear scope for improvement—ideal first step on the ladder..
Three bedrooms (originally two) with open-plan lounge/diner
A compact three-bedroom semi-detached house offering practical living and clear potential for improvement. Set on Leechmere Crescent in Seaham, the home provides an open-plan lounge/diner, a rear garden and off-street parking via a shared driveway. Gas central heating and double glazing (unknown install date) are in place, and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
This property is presented as an affordable entry point for first-time buyers or a straightforward buy-to-let prospect. The layout was altered from two to three bedrooms to increase sleeping space; there is one family bathroom. The plot and internal footprint are modest (approximately 754 sq ft), so rooms are medium-sized rather than spacious.
Notable positives include very low local crime, no flooding risk, nearby well-rated primary and secondary schools, good transport links toward the A19, and a very low council tax band. The long lease (998 years remaining) avoids short-lease complications.
Practical points to note: the home dates from the 1930s–1940s and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so modernisation and energy-efficiency upgrades (wall insulation, window/door replacement) may be needed. The shared driveway means parking is not wholly private, and the house is small compared with modern family homes. Buyers should expect maintenance or renovation work to personalise the property and improve thermal performance.
