This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Great Lumley, offering practical family living with countryside close by and Chester-le-Street a short drive away. The ground floor features an entrance porch, an open-plan living and dining area with French doors to the rear garden, and a well-proportioned kitchen with direct garden access. Upstairs are three usable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout suits growing families, first-time buyers or those looking to downsize without losing space.
Outside, the house benefits from a driveway for two cars, an attached garage with garden access, a generous enclosed rear garden with a large deck, and a powered shed. The plot size is a strong selling point for family life and outdoor entertaining. Local amenities, good primary schools rated Good, fast broadband and very low crime make the location convenient and reassuring.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold, approximately 80 sqm (861 sqft), with double glazing installed before 2002, cavity walls with assumed partial insulation, and an EPC rating of D. There is a single family bathroom only, and the house was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s — useful to know for ongoing maintenance and potential upgrade planning. Buyers should factor in potential energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating when budgeting.
Overall this is a well-presented, average-sized family home on a decent plot in a quiet, affluent area. It offers immediate, comfortable living with clear scope to add value through targeted improvements to heating, insulation and finishes.
