About
Set within an established residential area of Mowden, Edgecombe Grove is a two bedroom detached bungalow offering well proportioned accommodation, a detached garage and particularly private gardens.
The property has been carefully maintained over the years, although the interior would benefit from a programme of modernisation, making it a suitable opportunity for buyers looking to create a home to their own specification.
The approach is attractive, with a paved driveway, lawn and mature planting creating a pleasant first impression.
Established hedging provides a good degree of privacy, while the detached garage offers useful parking, storage or workshop space.
An entrance porch opens into the central hallway, from which the accommodation is arranged in a straightforward and practical layout.
The lounge is a generous room with windows to the front and side, allowing good natural light. A fireplace provides a traditional focal point, and the room offers ample space for comfortable seating.
The separate dining room sits alongside the kitchen and gives the bungalow useful flexibility.
It could continue as a formal dining space or be adapted as a study, hobby room or occasional sitting room, depending on the needs of the next owner.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and includes a range of fitted units, work surfaces and appliance space.
Although functional, the presentation is dated and most buyers are likely to consider updating the room as part of a wider refurbishment. Both bedrooms are well proportioned doubles.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and opens directly into the conservatory, which provides an additional seating area overlooking the rear garden.
The second bedroom also benefits from fitted storage and enjoys outlooks to the side and rear. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and WC.
As with the kitchen and general décor, it is serviceable but would benefit from updating. Outside, the gardens are one of the property's strongest features.
The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by mature conifers and established planting, creating a private and peaceful setting.
A patio area provides space for outdoor seating, while the size of the plot will appeal to buyers who enjoy gardening or simply value outdoor space.
Edgecombe Grove is well placed for the amenities of Mowden and Cockerton, with local shops, healthcare facilities and public transport links within easy reach.
Darlington town centre, the West End and the A1 M are also readily accessible. Edgecombe Grove is a sensibly proportioned bungalow on a good plot, offering privacy, parking and genuine potential.
It will suit buyers seeking single level living who are comfortable updating the interior to create a home aligned with their own tastes and requirements.
