About this home

Presented to an exceptional show home standard, this impressive four-bedroom detached family home occupies a desirable corner plot with gardens to the side, a garage and driveway parking.

Beautifully maintained by the current owners, the spacious and versatile accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, cloakroom/WC, a bright dual-aspect lounge with windows to the front and side, and a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room featuring a bay window, French doors to the garden and a stylish range of modern wall and base units with inset stainless steel sink, electric hob with extractor, separate double oven, integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen flows through to a practical utility room with additional units, plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus side access to the garden.

On the first floor, the landing offers a useful storage cupboard and stairs to the second floor. The principal bedroom suite includes a generous bedroom area, walk-in dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en suite shower room. There is also a further bedroom and a family bathroom fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, panelled bath and heated towel rail.

The second floor offers two additional bedrooms, one with a full wall of fitted wardrobes, together with a shower room and a rear-facing Velux window to the landing.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a low-maintenance garden wrapping around the front and side, while the main garden is mainly laid to lawn, fully enclosed and complemented by a patio seating area ideal for outdoor entertaining. To the rear, there is a garage with light, power and an up-and-over door, along with a block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking.

Mount Oswald is a much sought after development, which is incredibly pedestrian friendly with numerous walking and cycle routes. It also offers easy access to Burn Hall woods while being conveniently situated on the outskirts of the immediate City Centre, where there are comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available. It is adjacent to Durham Girls High School and within walking distance to Durham Johnston school and Durham School alongside many of the University and College buildings and is just off the A(167) Highway which provides excellent road links to both North and South.
