The list price of £340,000 seems relatively reasonable when compared to similar properties in the area. Nearby detached properties on Ballston Close have sold for prices ranging from £220,000 to £385,000. Considering the property’s size, features (including the double garage), and location, the price falls within the expected range. However, the lack of specific square footage data prevents a precise price-per-square-foot comparison.

The property shows signs of wear and tear in some areas, particularly in the bedrooms and sunroom which appear to need some tidying and potentially minor repairs. While the kitchen and one bathroom appear to be in better condition, the overall impression is one of a property that could benefit from some updating and maintenance to reach its full potential.

The property is situated in The Pastures, Fatfield, Washington, which benefits from its proximity to several good schools, including Columbia Grange School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Fatfield Academy (Good Ofsted rating). The location is also reasonably close to train stations in Chester-le-Street and Heworth, offering convenient transport links. While not in the immediate city center, the area appears to be a desirable family residential area based on nearby property prices.

The property includes a garden with a patio area and a decent-sized lawn. While it’s not exceptionally large, it is larger than many properties in the area and offers outdoor space suitable for family use. The additional space of a double garage also adds to the overall land value.
