This extended mid-link terraced house on a quiet cul-de-sac offers practical, affordable accommodation for a first-time buyer or young family. The ground-floor extension provides a flexible garden room that works well as a dining/utility space overlooking the rear garden. The property benefits from off-street parking, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, which together keep running costs low.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance lobby, living room with open-plan stairs, kitchen, garden room, two bedrooms and a single family bathroom. At about 693 sq ft the home is an average-sized two-bedroom with built-in wardrobes to the main bedroom and usable room proportions. Broadband speeds are fast and road connections (A1, A19, Tyne Tunnel) are convenient for commuting.
The area is generally affluent with good nearby primary schools rated Good, though local secondary provision is mixed and one nearby secondary is rated Requires Improvement. The plot is small and the rear garden is low-maintenance, which suits buyers wanting less outdoor upkeep but limits extension/landscape potential. The house was built in the 1980s and while externally tidy it may benefit from some modernisation inside depending on buyer taste.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax (Band B), no local flood risk and the potential for rental income if desired. Notable constraints are the single bathroom, limited garden size, average overall footprint and unknown age of the double glazing — buyers seeking more space or contemporary finishes should budget for modest updates.
