About this home

Occupying a particularly desirable position within this well-established estate, this extended four-bedroom semi-detached home enjoys a generous cul-de-sac plot with a well-screened rear garden. One of the larger house types on the estate, the property offers notably well-proportioned accommodation and represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a spacious family home with scope to personalise and enhance to their own taste.

Originally constructed by the highly regarded McCullough Homes, the property has been thoughtfully extended to create four genuinely good-sized bedrooms, while retaining the generous proportions associated with these popular homes. The accommodation comprises an entrance porch, welcoming reception hall, impressive 25ft lounge/dining room, kitchen, separate utility room and ground floor cloakroom/WC. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom/WC.

Although the interior would now benefit from a degree of updating and modernisation, the property provides an excellent foundation for creating a contemporary family home. Practical features include uPVC double glazing and roofline, gas central heating via radiators and a replacement Baxi combination boiler installed in 2021. The property is offered Freehold and, importantly, is available with no onward chain.

Externally, the property's position is a particular highlight. Set within a desirable cul-de-sac location, the generous plot provides a good degree of privacy, with the well-screened westerly facing rear garden offering an attractive outdoor space that benefits from the afternoon and evening sun.

Loweswater Avenue forms part of the popular Garden Farm estate, which benefits from a range of local shops and convenient access to Chester-le-Street town centre. The town provides an extensive selection of shops, schools, leisure facilities and everyday amenities, while the attractive Riverside Park offers excellent recreational space.

For commuters, Chester-le-Street is particularly well placed, with strong road connections to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The town is also served by the main East Coast railway line, providing regular services and convenient connections towards both London and Edinburgh, with particularly quick access to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.

A substantial and versatile family home in a sought-after position, this extended property offers an excellent combination of space, plot and potential, with the opportunity for a new owner to update and transform the accommodation to their own specification.
