About
Spacious Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Home Occupying a Superb Corner Plot No Onward Chain | Three Double Bedrooms | Garage & Driveway | Beautiful Mature Gardens | Solar Panels Surrounded by beautifully established, nature-friendly gardens and occupying a generous corner plot, this larger style three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property enjoying exceptional privacy, tranquillity and seclusion within one of Durham City's most sought-after residential areas.
Available with no onward chain, the property has been lovingly maintained and enhanced over the years, benefitting from a recently renewed roof, fascia's and guttering, with the property's former flat roofs having been changed to sloped roofs, solar panels with recently replaced inverters, a modern refitted kitchen, useful utility room extension, driveway and garage.
The boundary wall has also recently been rebuilt.
The accommodation is ideally suited to family living and briefly comprises an entrance hall, spacious lounge with attractive bay window and delightful 'Parquet' Flooring flowing through to a separate dining room, contemporary fitted kitchen featuring stylish rustic stone wall tiles, and a practical utility room providing additional storage and workspace.
To the first floor are three genuine double bedrooms together with a family bathroom which benefits from rustic stone flooring. The true highlight of the property is the magnificent outdoor space.
Mature and thoughtfully planted gardens extend to three sides and feature an abundance of trees, shrubs, flowering plants and wildlife-friendly planting.
The setting creates a peaceful haven that offers a remarkable degree of privacy rarely found within such a convenient city location.
The property has been extended to the side, providing a practical utility room and offering potential for further development of the site (depending upon acquiring the necessary permissions and consents).
Externally, the property also benefits from a private driveway providing off-road parking together with a detached garage.
Location: Newton Hall remains one of Durham City's most desirable residential districts, highly regarded for its excellent range of local amenities, schools, green spaces and convenient transport links.
The property is ideally positioned within easy reach of neighbourhood shops, healthcare facilities, leisure amenities and well-regarded schooling.
The popular Arnison Retail Centre is located nearby and provides an extensive range of supermarkets, retail stores, restaurants and everyday services.
Durham City Centre is approximately two miles away, offering a comprehensive selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions centred around the historic cathedral and university.
The property is also particularly well placed for those working within the city, with University Hospital Durham, Durham Railway Station and the city centre all readily accessible.
Excellent road links connect to the A167 and A1(M), providing straightforward commuting throughout the North East.
Properties combining generous accommodation, mature private gardens and such a convenient Newton Hall location rarely become available. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
