Set on Barnwell View in the popular Herrington Burn area of Houghton le Spring, this three bedroom semi detached home is in good condition throughout and ready for its next owners. Built in 2008, the accommodation of approximately 742 sq ft (69 sq m) is arranged over two floors and comprises an entrance hall, a living room, a fitted kitchen, a downstairs WC, three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Outside, there is a good size private rear garden that is not overlooked, together with a single garage and a large driveway, all close to local shops, well regarded schools and excellent road links via the A19 and A1(M).

The living room is a bright and comfortable space with modern wood-effect flooring and room for a full suite of furniture, perfect for relaxing with the family.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wood-effect wall and base units with contrasting dark worktops, a built-in stainless steel oven, a hob with a chimney-style extractor, a sink beneath the window and space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. A downstairs WC adds everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a comfortable double with its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a corner shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. The second bedroom is also a good size, and the third bedroom makes an ideal child's room, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, a pedestal wash basin and a WC. The kitchen and bathrooms are original to the home, giving a buyer the opportunity to update them to their own taste and add value over time.

Outside, the private rear garden is a real asset. It is a good size and not overlooked, laid mainly to lawn with a decked patio area that is perfect for outdoor dining, a gravelled border and fenced boundaries, making it a safe space for children and pets. To the front, the large driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the single garage, which offers secure parking or valuable storage.

The home is heated by a gas-fired boiler to radiators, with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, and is double glazed, with good wall and loft insulation and low energy lighting throughout.
