This neat semi‑detached bungalow offers comfortable single‑storey living in a quiet Barr Hills cul‑de‑sac — ideal for over‑55s or buyers seeking low‑maintenance accommodation. The sitting room’s feature bay window floods the main living space with light, and the naturally lit kitchen provides a pleasant, practical cooking area. Two double bedrooms include built‑in wardrobes in the master for tidy storage.
Practical comforts include a modern double‑shower bathroom, mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and off‑street parking for ease of access. The plot is a decent size with front and rear garden space that’s easy to maintain. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home suitable for remote contact and keeping connected.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the 1930s–40s and has cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy‑efficiency improvements. The bungalow is modest in floor area (about 754 sq ft) and offers limited scope for significant extension without planning. Overall condition is good, tenure is freehold and the sale is chain free, which should help a straightforward move.
Located close to local amenities and public transport, with several primary and secondary schools nearby, this bungalow suits downsizers, retirees and first‑time buyers seeking quiet, accessible living in Consett with straightforward upkeep.
