Set on the edge of Houghton-le-Spring town centre, this well-presented three-bedroom link-detached house offers practical family accommodation and easy access to schools, shops and main roads (A690/A19/A1). The ground floor has an open-plan feel with a lounge leading into a dining room and double doors onto a south-facing, landscaped patio and sunny enclosed garden — a low-maintenance outdoor space suited to children and entertaining. A kitchen with built-in appliances and an adjoining utility room (currently used as a home office) add everyday convenience and direct access to the garage.
Upstairs there are two good-sized double bedrooms plus a single bedroom, served by a single family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The garage includes loft storage and the generous driveway provides additional off-street parking. The property is freehold, constructed in the early 1990s, double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators, making it straightforward and familiar to run.
Practical considerations to note: the house has one family bathroom only and an EPC rating of D. The area is described as deprived with average local crime levels; while local amenities and transport links are strong, buyers should factor this into priorities. Services, systems and appliances have not been independently tested and buyers may wish to commission standard surveys or checks before purchase.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a well-located, move-in-ready property with scope to personalise. It balances low-maintenance outdoor space, off-street parking and useful storage, with the realistic limitations of a modest-sized, traditional layout and single bathroom.
