A detached, single-storey bungalow set on a generous plot in a quiet cul-de-sac, offered with vacant possession and no forward chain. The house sits on mature front and rear gardens and benefits from a large driveway, gas central heating and uPVC double glazing. Constructed in the mid-20th century, the layout is practical: entrance porch, hall, lounge, kitchen-diner, one double bedroom and a bathroom.
This property is well suited to downsizers or retirement buyers wanting a low-rise home near Shotley Bridge and Consett town centre. Local facilities, shops and good primary/secondary schools are all within easy reach, and regional road links make Durham and Tyneside accessible for visits or appointments.
Practical considerations: the bungalow requires updating and refurbishment throughout, and is being sold subject to Probate (granted). There are restrictive covenants noted on the title and the house lies within a historical mining area — a chartered surveyor’s inspection is recommended to confirm structural and rights information before purchase.
This freehold bungalow offers clear potential once modernised: a comfortable single-level home in a very low-crime, very affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband, mains services and affordable council tax banding. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in property should allow for renovation works and legal checks connected to the Probate sale.
