About
Situated on a generous plot just half a mile from the centre of Rowlands Gill village, this four-bedroom semi-detached property offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and create a superb family home.
With spacious accommodation, an impressive rear garden and beautiful views across the Derwent Valley, the property has enormous potential.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway with useful understairs storage, a spacious living room featuring a tiled fireplace with electric fire, and a separate dining room with a convenient ground floor WC/cloakroom.
The kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and hob, wood-panelled walls, and provides internal access to the garage as well as access to a rear lean-to, which in turn leads out to the garden.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, including three generous doubles and one single bedroom.
The principal bedroom enjoys stunning views over the Derwent Valley and benefits from fitted wardrobes, which will be included in the sale.
Bedroom two is located above the garage extension and features dual-aspect windows to the front and rear, together with a feature skylight, creating a bright and airy space.
The shower room is fitted with a shower cubicle and built-in storage cupboard housing the boiler, which we have been advised was installed in 2023 and benefits from a full service history.
A separate WC, retaining its original single-glazed window, adds further practicality. The landing also provides access to the loft via a hatch.
Externally, the property benefits from a front lawn and driveway providing off-street parking, leading to the attached garage.
A real highlight of the home is the substantial private rear garden, arranged over three tiers.
Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by an array of mature shrubs and trees, the upper tier extends into a delightful woodland area, creating a peaceful and secluded setting backing directly onto established woodland.
Offering excellent scope for modernisation and enhancement, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious family home in a sought-after village location with outstanding outdoor space and breathtaking countryside views.
