About
Occupying a highly sought-after position on Durham Road in Bishop Auckland, this superbly presented three bedroom semi-detached property offers spacious accommodation, attractive period features and fantastic far-reaching views to the rear.
The current owners have finished the property in a stylish and contemporary manner whilst carefully retaining features which complement the age and character of the home, including traditional picture rails.
The ground floor opens into a lovely, spacious entrance hall which immediately gives a sense of the generous proportions on offer.
There is a comfortable lounge and a separate dining room, with the latter benefiting from patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
A particular feature of the property is the large kitchen, which has been extended to create an additional bright and versatile area.
This space could be used as a dining area, breakfast room or sun room and has French doors opening onto the garden, making it ideal for everyday family living and entertaining.
To the first floor is a landing giving access to three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.
Externally, the property has a low-maintenance rear garden which provides an excellent place to sit and enjoy the superb open views beyond.
There is also a garage with a useful pedestrian access door into the garden, together with a driveway approaching the garage providing off-street parking.
Further benefits include cavity wall insulation, security cameras and an external electrical socket.
