The list price of £185,000 seems reasonable considering the location and the size of the property (1013.90 sqft). Comparable properties in the area vary significantly in price, with some slightly higher and some substantially lower. The need for significant modernisation works needs to be factored into the price, balancing this against the desirability of the village location. While it may not be considered exceptional value, it is not overpriced for the area, considering it is a detached house.

The property shows its age and requires modernisation. While the bathroom appears recently updated, the kitchen, living areas, and other rooms show dated decor, flooring, and fixtures. Some minor repair work (for example, patching damaged walls) is apparent. While structurally sound, it’s not in ‘excellent condition’ and requires significant updates to meet modern standards.

Crawcrook is a desirable village location in Tyne and Wear, offering a balance of rural charm and convenient access to amenities. The proximity to well-regarded schools (St Agnes’ Catholic Primary and Emmaville Primary, both with good or outstanding Ofsted ratings) and relatively close proximity to train stations (although requiring a short drive), makes it attractive to families. The relatively quiet and peaceful location may not be suitable for everyone. The presence of several nearby streets with higher average prices indicates a generally positive property market trend.

The property includes a garden; however, it appears relatively small and requires considerable landscaping. Its current state could be rated as needing significant improvement. Therefore a middling score of 5 reflects this.
