Situated at the head of a cul de sac overlooking a pedestrian area to the front, this beautifully presented first-floor flat has been extensively upgraded and improved. With its stylish, contemporary interior, it is an ideal home for first-time buyers. The lease term has also been extended with over 140 years remaining. The impressive specification includes gas central heating via radiators with a combination boiler and uPVC double glazing. The porch and stairs lead up to the first-floor hall area, with a pull-down ladder giving access to a useful boarded loft area. The living room has a full-height window providing lots of natural light, and the kitchen is situated to the rear. The cooker, washing machine, and fridge/freezer are all available by negotiation. There are two good size bedrooms and include fitted wardrobes to bedroom two. The bathroom is particularly attractive, refitted with a white suite, mains shower and attractive tiling to the walls and floor. The property has a garden to the front and a garage within the nearby block. This is an outstanding flat and early viewing is very highly recommended.
Middleham Close forms part of the popular Urpeth Grange development within Ouston Village. Its good location means that local shops and schools are within walking distance, and the property is well-placed for easy access to nearby Chester le Street, Birtley, Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
