About this home

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a popular residential location and presents an excellent opportunity for buyers wishing to personalise a property to their own taste.

Requiring some cosmetic updating, the accommodation begins with an entrance hallway and staircase rising to the first floor. The lounge features a fireplace with an inset, remote-controlled gas fire, while the separate dining room has sliding patio doors opening into the conservatory. The kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall units and incorporates an inset stainless-steel sink and drainer. A useful utility room provides a rear-facing window, access to the garden, plumbing and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, together with an internal door to the garage.

On the first floor, the landing includes a storage cupboard and provides access to three bedrooms and a refitted shower room. The shower room is appointed with a low-level WC, wash hand basin with storage cupboard beneath, a double shower enclosure with a wall-mounted mains-fed shower, tiled walls and a heated towel rail.

Externally, the property benefits from predominantly low-maintenance gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden features a generous patio area, storage shed and outside water tap. A driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the garage, which is equipped with an up-and-over door, lighting and power.

Ashdown Avenue is situated within walking distance of local neighbourhood shops and schools which are available within the development and Gilesgate itself. Gilesgate is situated approximately 2 miles from Durham City Centre where there are comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available and is just off the A(690) Durham to Sunderland Highway which also offers access to the A1(M) Motorway Interchange at Carrville.
