The property is a 2 bedroom bungalow located in Village Lane, Washington, Tyne and Wear. It has 954.65 sqft of living space and a 2,156.01 sqft plot. The list price is £290,000. The property benefits from being close to several schools, including St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School (0.38km), Wessington Primary School (0.39km, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and Biddick Primary School (0.82km, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). Train stations at Heworth (6.43km) and Chester-le-Street (8.09km) offer transport links. Based on the images, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, though some updating may be desirable to enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathrooms show signs of age, and the decor throughout suggests a need for modernisation. The garden is of a reasonable size, providing outdoor space. Considering the average house price in the area is £198,296 and the average price per sqft is £240, the asking price of £290,000 for this 954.65 sqft property appears slightly high. While the property benefits from a larger plot size than average and a convenient location near schools and transport, the need for potential modernisation could affect its value. Nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, with some significantly lower. A more thorough property survey would be needed to definitively assess the condition and value.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
