2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Second Avenue, Morpeth NE61

What Does "Move In Ready" Actually Mean? It means new carpets, fresh calm grey paint, a proper fitted kitchen and the local shops & schools within a 10 minutes walk. Only one room left to do - and it's the one you'd want to turn into something special anyway.

Anyone who's spent a few weekends viewing typical first-time buyer houses knows the feeling. There's work required and you're exhausted before you've even picked up the keys…

This two bedroom semi stops that conversation pretty quickly. The living room sets the tone from the moment you walk in - with stylish laminate flooring, a white feature fireplace and calm, modern finish.

The kitchen has plenty of space, with light oak-style fitted units, dark worktops and two rear-facing windows that look out onto the garden. There's a gas hob and integrated oven, a stainless steel sink and a door through to the utility room where the washing machine lives.

Upstairs has two proper double bedrooms - the main bedroom at the front comfortably takes a king-size bed with room to spare, and the second bedroom at the back is also freshly painted.

The four piece family bathroom is the one room that probably needs your attention. It's a large room with both a corner bath and a separate shower cubicle, and the green marble-effect tiling is firmly of its era - but the space is there for you to make it into something truly special. It’s a much bigger blank canvas than you get with most first homes - and one of the most important rooms.

Above that, there’s a boarded loft with a pull-down ladder and power - giving you useful storage from day one, with the potential to perhaps go one stage further and make it a usable room (subject to the usual permissions).

Outside, there's a low-maintenance front garden behind a timber lattice fence, and a lawned rear garden with established hedging and a shed at the bottom. It’s private, practical and southwest-facing.

It’s in a handy location with a Premier store and a fish & chip shop just round the corner.

Collingwood Secondary School and Stobhillgate First School are next door to each other, just a short walk away.

Morpeth station - with direct services to Newcastle, Edinburgh and London - is a little over ten minutes from the front door, and the town centre is only five minutes further on.

A freshly decorated, practical semi with everything in walking distance - ready for you to move in and enjoy, with a bathroom waiting to become the best room in the house.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
