Despite needing a bit of refurbish, the property is in good condition and offers plenty of amenities spread across two floors.

There are two double bedrooms and it has been described as “spacious accommodation”.

It also boasts an open-plan dining room and living area, as well as a generously sized kitchen.

While the bathroom may need a bit of an update, it is still large with both shower and bath installed.

A listing description on Right Move reads: “Ideally located for an array of schools, walking distance to local amenities, excellent local transport links to surrounding areas likewise Washington Galleries. Road links to A1, A19 to the South and the Tyne Tunnel to much of the North East.”
