Perfect for Homebuyers & Investors:

Whether you're searching for your first home or your next buy-to-let investment, this property offers something for everyone. Homebuyers will appreciate the spacious living accommodation, two double bedrooms, enclosed rear yard, and off-street parking, while investors could potentially achieve an attractive rental yield of 8%, subject to current market conditions.

EPC Rating C:

The property benefits from an EPC Rating of C, offering improved energy efficiency and potentially lower running costs compared to many older properties.

Dalton Park Outlet and Byron Place Shopping Centre in Seaham are both approximately 15 minutes away by car, Washington Galleries can be reached in around 17 minutes, and Sunderland City Centre is just 20 minutes away, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, and transport connections.

Entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious living room featuring laminate wood flooring and a charming bay window, allowing plenty of natural light to brighten the space.

To the rear is a practical U-shaped kitchen offering ample worktop and cupboard space. The kitchen includes a freestanding cooker, washing machine, and fridge, all of which are included within the sale. From here, there is access to the enclosed rear yard, providing a private and low-maintenance outdoor space.

To the first floor are two generously sized double bedrooms, both finished with carpeting, offering comfortable accommodation for homeowners or tenants alike.

The family bathroom has been beautifully finished with contemporary white tiling, complemented by stylish black fixtures and fittings for a modern contrast. The bathroom comprises a bath with a detachable shower head, along with an illuminated bathroom mirror, creating a sleek and practical finish.

Externally, the property benefits from one allocated off-street parking space directly to the front of the house, in addition to the enclosed rear yard.

Located within a well-established residential area, the property enjoys easy access to local schools, supermarkets, parks, and everyday amenities. Excellent road links via the A690 and nearby A19 provide straightforward commuting to Sunderland, Durham, Newcastle, and surrounding areas, making this an ideal location for both owner-occupiers and investors.
