Nestled in the picturesque village of Sunderland Bridge, this recently renovated two-bedroom terraced cottage blends period charm with contemporary finishes. The ground-floor lounge centers on a multi-fuel burner with oak mantel and engineered oak flooring, while the generous kitchen/diner features integrated appliances and space for entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles, and the master benefits from a private en-suite — a useful modern touch in a traditional home.
Outside, the property offers practical low-maintenance outdoor space: a west-facing rear garden with patio and a gravelled forecourt providing off-street parking for two vehicles. There are useful storage options including two loft spaces (one boarded with a drop-down ladder) and external power sockets front and rear. The location is commuter-friendly, around 3 miles from Durham with quick links to the A167 and A1(M).
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations: the plot is modest in size, typical of terrace cottages, and neighbouring buildings limit long-range views. Broadband speeds are slow and the area indicators show higher crime and local deprivation statistics — factors that may affect some buyers’ priorities. The property is Freehold, energy rated C and council tax band B, making it relatively economical to run.
Well-suited to first-time buyers, couples or those seeking a low-maintenance village base with modern conveniences, this turn-key cottage offers immediate comfort and scope to personalise. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the standard of upgrade and the village setting.
