Description

This property presents an exceptional chance for buyers looking to invest in a prime North East location. Although the home is in need of updating and refurbishment, it offers substantial potential for transformation into a desirable long-term residence. The entrance is via a shared driveway, leading to a front garden that welcomes with an open-aspect lawn. At the rear, an enclosed courtyard provides a secluded space ideal for outdoor dining or leisure activities, along with a detached garage that's perfect for additional storage or as a workshop. Inside, the home showcases various traditional elements, including sash-style windows—many equipped with charming shutters—and exposed ceiling beams that lend warmth and character. The generous living spaces start with a triple-aspect lounge featuring these exposed beams and a decorative chimney breast recess that adds to its charm. A second reception room also boasts exposed beams, allowing for versatile use as a sitting area, study, or formal dining room. The dining kitchen is spacious and invites the possibility of modernisation to become the heart of family gatherings. Upstairs are three well-sized double bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom that includes classic features such as a roll-top bath along with a separate walk-in shower. A loft space provides additional storage solutions and features built-in cupboards that optimise the area’s usability. Conveniently located near local amenities including shops and schools, this property also enjoys good transport links making daily commuting hassle-free. With its mixture of period details, ample living space, and prime location, this house stands ready to be revitalised into something truly unique.
