About
A spacious, well-presented and improved period family home situated within the Shotley Bridge conservation area and available with no chain.
Built in 1887 the house - previously known as 'Jubilee House' - has been tastefully improved to provide an excellent family home that sympathetically combines period character and contemporary style.
With UPVC double glazing and gas central heating via combination boiler the sizeable accommodation comprises, on the ground floor: entrance lobby, hall with wooden spindle staircase lounge with traditional fireplace with gas fire and bay window, a dining room, a modern kitchen with integrated cooking appliances and a useful utility room to the rear.
On the first floor, the half-landing leads to a family bathroom with free standing bath and walk-in shower, while the landing leads to two double bedrooms and a single bedroom.
Externally, there is a low-maintenance forecourt garden with a yard and an elevated garden to the rear and a single garage.
The house is situated midway along Benfieldside Road, on the corner of Western Hill, and has a view directly to the front over Newstead Rise and the Derwent Valley beyond.
It is close to the popular village of Shotley Bridge and also within easy reach of Blackhill, both of which have some shops and cafes, as well as renowned schools including Shotley Bridge Primary schools.
It is approximately two miles from Consett town centre, which has further amenities, and there are excellent road links to Durham and Newcastle - both within 15 miles - and across the River Derwent into Northumberland.
There are popular countryside walks and cycle routes nearby, including the Derwent Walk and the Coast-to-Coast track.
