About
This extremely rare and beautiful bungalow, full of character and charm, is perfectly suited to downsizers or families looking to settle in a peaceful setting.
Occupying approximately 0.42 of an acre of land and surrounded by stunning scenery, the property is located in the charming village of Wolsingham, set back from West End, offering both privacy and a picturesque outlook.
The property features attractive white rendering, complemented by a distinctive yellow garage door that adds to its unique and welcoming appearance.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a porch leading into a well-proportioned interior. There are three double bedrooms, with the master benefiting from its own en-suite, alongside a family bathroom.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, beautifully divided by a striking stone archway, creating a sense of space while maintaining character.
Sliding doors provide direct access to the expansive rear garden, allowing for plenty of natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The property also offers a good-sized kitchen with a rear exit into the garden.
Externally, the home continues to impress with a long, sweeping driveway leading up to the property, opening into a generous stone-pebbled area with ample parking for multiple vehicles, as well as an additional lawned section.
To the rear, there is a substantial garden complete with a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in a desirable location.
West End sits on the edge of the village centre meaning that a range of local amenities are within easy walking distance.
The Village itself is well placed within Weardale as the areas around are renowned for the excellent walks and picturesque scenery.
There are excellent schools close by, and the larger regional towns of Crook and Bishop Auckland are a short distance away.
