About
A Handsome 1930s Semi-Detached Home, Beautifully Balanced For Modern Family Living Occupying an established position on Clarence Gardens, this impressive 1930s semi-detached residence brings together the generous proportions and architectural character associated with homes of its era, alongside a stylish interior designed for contemporary living.
Extending to approximately 1,386 sq.
ft., the property offers beautifully balanced accommodation across two floors, complemented by a private driveway, detached garage and a layout that provides considerably more versatility than first appearances might suggest.
From the moment you step inside, the character of the 1930s architecture is immediately apparent.
A welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone, with traditional proportions, attractive detailing and a staircase rising to the first floor.
To the front of the home, the study is a particularly attractive room, enhanced by a characteristic bay window which floods the space with natural light.
Currently arranged as a home office, its generous proportions make this a highly adaptable reception room that could work equally well as a formal sitting room, playroom or snug.
The separate living room provides a more relaxed setting, beautifully presented with a contemporary neutral palette and an attractive feature fireplace.
Generous proportions make this a comfortable room for everyday family life, while the period detailing and considered interior styling give the space a refined yet welcoming feel.
To the rear lies one of the home's real highlights: an impressive 21'6" kitchen and dining space designed around modern living and entertaining.
Finished with an extensive range of cabinetry, contrasting timber work surfaces and a substantial range-style cooker, the kitchen combines practicality with a sophisticated aesthetic.
Skylights introduce further natural light from above, while the adjoining dining area provides ample space for a substantial table, creating a sociable heart to the home for everything from everyday family meals to entertaining friends.
A useful ground-floor WC completes the accommodation at this level.
The first floor continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, benefitting from the space and proportions synonymous with homes of this period.
The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double, while the remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for children, guests or additional home-working space.
A contemporary family bathroom serves the bedrooms and completes the first-floor arrangement.
Externally, the property enjoys an established frontage which complements its traditional 1930s façade and gives the home genuine kerb appeal.
A private driveway provides valuable off-street parking and leads towards the rear, where a detached garage, measuring approximately 16'4" x 8'5", offers excellent additional storage, workshop space or secure parking.
Clarence Gardens is well positioned for convenient access into Bishop Auckland and its extensive range of everyday amenities, schooling, leisure facilities and transport connections.
The wider road network also provides straightforward access towards Durham, Darlington and the A1(M), making the location equally practical for those travelling throughout the region.
With its combination of 1930s character, approximately 1,386 sq. ft.
of accommodation, three bedrooms, two versatile reception spaces, an impressive kitchen and dining room, private driveway and detached garage, this is a home that delivers personality, space and practicality in equal measure.
A beautifully presented home with the proportions, character and flexibility that make properties of this era so enduringly desirable.
