Brigadoon is a spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow set in tranquil New Ridley, offering single-storey living and a large garden — an appealing canvas for buyers wanting to downsize or create a bespoke countryside home. The property is chain-free, includes an attached garage, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and easy links to Stocksfield station for commutes to Newcastle and Hexham.
Although the kitchen appears well-equipped, the bungalow overall requires modernisation throughout. The house has traditional stone walls that are likely uninsulated and an EPC rating of D, so buyers should budget for insulation, heating upgrades, and general refurbishment to bring the property up to current comfort and efficiency standards. There is one shower room plus a separate WC, which suits everyday needs but may feel limited for some buyers.
The generous gardens and long private driveway are major strengths — plenty of space for landscaping, extensions (subject to permissions) or creating outdoor entertaining areas. The plot, hamlet setting and very low local crime rate support long-term value, particularly for purchasers wanting a quiet, affluent rural location with good local schools nearby.
Practical points to note: council tax is above average, broadband speeds are only average, and the bungalow’s traditional construction means renovation works should allow for period details and possible specialist repairs. This is a clear project property with strong potential for capital uplift once modernisation is completed.
