About
Occupying an enviable plot within the highly regarded Pye Estate in Bishop Auckland, this well-maintained two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Walmer Avenue presents an excellent opportunity for a range of buyers, particularly those looking to downsize without compromise.
Offered to the market with the significant advantage of no onward chain, the property combines a practical single-level layout with generous external space, ample parking, and a private southeast-facing garden, all within easy reach of local amenities, schooling, leisure facilities and transport links.
Set back behind a walled front garden, the property immediately conveys a sense of space and privacy, while the lengthy double driveway leading to the detached garage ((5.11m x 2.62m (16'9 x 8'7)) provides extensive off-street parking for several vehicles.
Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully updated by the current owner, creating a home that feels both comfortable and ready to move straight into.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access throughout the home, leading into a generously proportioned lounge positioned to the front elevation.
This bright and inviting reception space benefits from excellent natural light, while the inset gas fire creates a natural focal point within the room.
To the rear, the property benefits from a newly fitted modern kitchen finished with a stylish range of wall, drawer and base units alongside a selection of integrated appliances, creating a practical yet contemporary space suited to modern day-to-day living.
Positioned directly off the kitchen, the conservatory adds further versatility to the layout, offering an additional reception area overlooking the rear garden and an ideal setting for relaxing, dining or entertaining throughout the warmer months.
Both bedrooms are comfortable double rooms, each benefitting from fitted wardrobes, with the principal bedroom enjoying a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
The accommodation is completed by a newly installed three-piece bathroom suite incorporating a panelled bath with shower over, finished in a clean and modern style.
Externally, the rear garden is a particular feature of the home.
Enjoying a private southeast-facing aspect, the space has been designed for ease of maintenance whilst still providing an attractive outdoor environment, incorporating a lawned garden, planted borders and a private patio seating area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
With gas central heating, double glazing throughout and immediate vacant possession, this is a home that offers buyers the opportunity to move straight in while still presenting scope to personalise over time.
Bungalows within this part of the Pye Estate remain consistently sought after, particularly those offering this combination of plot size, parking, modern upgrades and no onward chain.
