This neat two-bedroom mid-terrace on Hartland Drive is presented with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors. The house feels welcoming from the porch into a lounge with a focal fireplace and an open staircase, and the fitted breakfasting kitchen provides everyday practicality with integrated appliances.
Upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms: the main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the second benefits from an internal doorway to a versatile dressing room. The partition wall in the second bedroom could be removed to restore the room’s original layout. A modern white bathroom suite with an electric shower serves the floor, and a loft hatch with a ladder gives access to useful storage space.
Outside there’s a small, open-aspect lawn to the front and a mostly decked rear garden arranged for low-maintenance outdoor living. A rear garage and driveway provide off-street parking. Local bus links and nearby shops make daily journeys and commuting to Gateshead, Newcastle or Durham straightforward, while several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the home has an EPC rating of E and electric storage heating; upgrading insulation and the heating system would improve comfort and running costs. Cavity walls are as-built without assumed insulation, so there is clear potential for energy-efficiency improvements. Overall, the property is well-presented and ready to enjoy, with sensible scope for further enhancement and investment value.
