About
Summary Ideally positioned within a quiet cul-de-sac, this three-bedroom semi-detached house occupies a substantial plot complete with a detached garage.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property provides a fantastic blank canvas ripe for modernisation, allowing the next owner to add their own personal touch.
The home is situated in the charming semi-rural village of High Spen, offering a tranquil lifestyle alongside excellent transport links to neighbouring villages, the Metrocentre, and Newcastle City Centre.
Given the tremendous potential of this outstanding opportunity, we anticipate strong interest and highly recommend arranging an early viewing.
Ground Floor The property opens into a convenient entrance porch, seamlessly flowing into the main hallway.
This central space provides a useful storage cupboard, stairs leading to the first floor, and access to both front-facing reception rooms.
Both reception rooms benefit from large windows that flood the spaces with natural light.
The primary living room, positioned to the left, boasts dual-aspect windows and an inset fireplace set within a striking stone-effect surround that spans the full length of the room.
The versatile second reception room also enjoys dual-aspect windows, anchored by a charming exposed brick-style feature chimney breast with a centrally positioned fireplace.
Leading off the second reception room is the rear-facing kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units paired with contrasting laminate worktops.
The layout includes an integrated electric oven, a sleek electric hob, and an overhead extractor fan.
Brightened by its own dual-aspect windows, the kitchen also connects to a practical side passage, offering access to a downstairs WC, an additional storage cupboard, and an external door leading outside.
