About
A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an outstanding Three Bedroom Semi Detached Residence situated within a much sought after residential area, on the outskirts of the small village of Howden Le Wear, which is nestled in the heart of County Durham, known for its scenic countryside.
The village itself has its own Primary School, shops including the village One Stop convenience store and petrol station.
Bishop Auckland is nearby as is the market town of Crook, often referred to as the ‘Gateway to Weardale' an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
Both towns offer further amenities such as supermarkets, retail stores, restaurants and secondary schools.
A regular bus service runs through the village and the A68 and A690, provide access to the A1(M) and the major commercial centres of the northeast.
Warmed via Gas Central Heating and having Double Glazing throughout, the internal layout briefly comprises: Entrance Hallway with staircase rising to the first floor, dual aspect Lounge Diner and Breakfast Kitchen.
To the first floor a Family Bathroom and Three Bedrooms. A staircase rises to the second floor Loft Room, which could be utilised for a number of purposes.
Occupying a generous plot, the property has a small paved garden to the front, whilst to the rear, an enclosed garden paved for ease of maintenance.
A Detached Garage offers parking and additional storage. The current vendors have installed a shower room/wc and utility area with space and plumbing for washing machine.
A pull down ladder provides access to the attic space, which is currently used as a home office (the garage could, subject to relevant planning permission, be converted into a self-contained annexe) In our opinion this ready to move into property, would make an exceptional family home for the discerning purchaser and therefore only an internal inspection will truly suffice to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
