LOCATION
The property is located on the north side of Springwell, in the Heugh Hill area, with access off Uplands Way. Springwell sits between the A194(M) to the east, the B1288 to the west and provides excellent access to the neighbouring conurbations of Washington, Gateshead, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne.
