About this home

Located in one of the town's most highly regarded areas, this traditional style house boasts a very attractive appearance. It combines numerous features rarely found within a single property, making it a unique and highly desirable family home. The spacious interior is complemented by very generous outdoor space, including large, mature gardens, ample parking, and elevated, far-reaching views from the rear. The house itself features an impressive design and layout, greatly enhanced by the addition of substantial two storey extensions. A central lobby opens to the main entrance hall. The two main reception rooms are situated to either side of the hall. A spacious dining room features a large bay window. The living room has a multi-fuel stove and attractive fireplace, and double doors open to an 18ft family room, with French windows opening to the attractive back gardens. The family room opens to a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room with an extensive range of units and a cooking range. There is also a useful utility room and a cloakroom/wc. On the first floor, the spacious landing has a large window providing ample natural light, and leads to three double bedrooms and a very spacious family bathroom, extending to over twelve feet, with a white suite and large shower enclosure. The impressive main bedroom suite spans the full depth of the house, with a spacious bedroom at the front and a dressing room and en suite shower room. The second bedroom includes a bay window. The first floor enjoys far-reaching elevated views, over Chester le Street to the front, and towards Newcastle to the rear. The gardens are a particularly appealing feature of this property, which is perfect for family buyers, with ample parking to the side and front, and a large, well-screened landscaped back garden, with extensive lawns and a fantastic tiled sun terrace. There is also a large garage with a remote-controlled door. The property has uPVC double glazing and gas central heating via radiators with a Baxi combination boiler. This is a very impressive home which will prove very hard to match, so early viewing is highly recommended.
