Set on a peaceful hillside in The Shields, this single-storey bungalow combines flexible living with far-reaching countryside and town views. The main two-bedroom home is complemented by a self-contained one-bedroom annex with its own entrance — ideal for multi-generational use, long‑term guests or holiday-let income. A private driveway, decent plot and tiered paved gardens maximise outdoor space without high maintenance.
Practical updates include a newly fitted gas boiler (February 2025). The property otherwise retains mid‑century elements and will suit buyers who appreciate solid bones and scope for personalisation. The annex is ready to occupy, offering immediate versatility while the main accommodation provides comfortable, traditional living rooms and a useful lean-to/utility space.
Be aware of a few material points: the primary heating is electric storage heaters despite the recent boiler installation, double glazing installation date is unknown, and the area has a medium flood risk. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect remote working without alternative arrangements.
Overall, this freehold bungalow offers a rare combination of roadside convenience, quiet surroundings and adaptable accommodation. It will particularly appeal to families seeking close access to schools and parkland, or investors looking for a property with an independent annex and clear holiday-let potential.
