This end terrace cottage is currently arranged as a three bedroom property but offers excellent potential to create a spacious two bedroom home with an enlarged lounge area. The property is available to purchase via online auction.
Tucked away just off the A183, the location provides convenient access to Shiney Row, Washington and Sunderland. It is also within easy reach of the idyllic Herrington County Park and Penshaw Monument. The property has been extended to the rear to create a dining room off the kitchen and further benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating.
The accommodation comprises an entrance into the lounge, kitchen, dining room and a third room to the ground floor. To the first floor are two bedrooms, one of which could be incorporated into the lounge to create a larger living space, subject to any necessary consents.
