This three-bedroom, three-bathroom detached bungalow located in Quarry Square, Tantobie, County Durham, presents itself as a well-maintained and modernized property. The photos showcase a recent, high-quality renovation, featuring contemporary kitchen and bathroom designs. The interior is bright and modern. The inclusion of an integral garage is a definite plus point. The property also benefits from a garden and a decked area, providing outdoor space.

The location, while in a village setting, offers reasonably good access to transportation and schools. Tanfield Lea Community Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is relatively close by, making the property potentially suitable for families. However, more information on local amenities and the village’s overall vibrancy is needed for a complete assessment. The proximity to Stanley and the rail service to Blaydon are positive attributes.

The listing price is within a reasonable range based on the available comparative data from similar properties in the area; however, without more precise local comparative square footage prices, its exact value proposition remains slightly uncertain. The current Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D (65) might be a factor in negotiations for some buyers, particularly in the context of increasing energy costs. While there is a possibility of improving this to a C rating (80), this requires further investigation.

Overall, the property presents a well-maintained and upgraded home in a location with some appealing attributes for families seeking a balanced combination of modern living and access to amenities and schools. However, potential buyers should be mindful of the relative size of the plot and the property’s current EPC rating, which offers opportunity for improvement. More detailed local market information would enable a more precise evaluation of the property’s 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. *
