Set on a generous corner plot in sought-after Aldinshaw, this three-bedroom detached house offers clear scope to create a comfortable family home. The property features two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with pantry, single garage and long driveway, all arranged over a practical two-storey layout. The large, mature gardens and privacy from hedging add strong outdoor value and room for extension subject to planning.
The house is sold freehold and chain-free, making it suitable for a buyer wanting a straightforward purchase and a project to personalise. Accommodation is well proportioned but dated: the home requires modernisation throughout and benefits from a mid-range EPC rating of D. Double glazing is already in place (installed before 2002) and the mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating.
Location is a major draw — easy A690 road links to Durham and Sunderland support commuting, while local amenities and a cluster of well-regarded primary schools are within close reach. The plot size, privacy and detached form give this property significant long-term potential, whether as a family home or a refurbishment project aimed at adding value.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the interior needs renovation and some systems and finishes are likely dated. Viewing is recommended to assess scope and cost of works and to appreciate the plot's potential.
