This detached two-bedroom bungalow on Lavender Road offers a rare single-storey opportunity in a sought-after part of Whickham. Set on a decent plot with a westerly-facing rear garden and a sunroom, the house provides comfortable living space of about 923 sq ft and straightforward access to local shops, bus links and well-rated schools.
The layout includes a generous living/dining room, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a kitchen with access to the garage, and a single fully tiled family bathroom. Practical extras include a porch, driveway parking and a garage. Mature planting and a lawned rear garden provide a private outside area with afternoon and evening sun.
The property is freehold but requires renovation: cosmetic updates and possible modernisation of services will be needed to realise full value. The bungalow’s mid-20th-century construction and traditional layout suit buyers looking to tailor a single-storey home to their tastes — ideal for downsizers, couples or investors seeking a refurbishment project.
Location strengths include quick walking access to amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Flood risk is low and local schools include several well-rated options nearby. Buyers should note a single bathroom, average local crime levels and moderate council tax banding when considering suitability and running costs.
