A modern three-bedroom end terrace built in 2019, this home offers low-maintenance living with several years remaining on its NHBC certificate. Light, well-presented interiors include a front living room, a fitted dining kitchen with French doors onto the private rear garden, and an en suite to the principal bedroom — practical for family mornings and working commuters.
Externally the property benefits from an enclosed front garden, driveway parking and a rear garden finished with artificial turf, patio and a timber shed. Gas central heating and double glazing help with energy efficiency, and council tax is inexpensive, reducing running costs for a first-time buyer or young family.
Location is a key strength: Middridge Vale in Shildon is close to local amenities, leisure facilities and rail links for commuters. Good and improving local schools nearby make this a convenient option for families. That said, the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, and broadband speeds in the immediate area are slow — factors to weigh for home workers or those seeking a quieter location.
The property is compact (around 665 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so while it’s ready to occupy, buyers seeking larger gardens or more living space should note the size. Overall this is a practical, modern home suited to first-time buyers, commuters and small families wanting a low-maintenance property with recent build advantages.
