About
Tucked away on one of the most private and desirable streets in the village, this exceptional detached bungalow on Smallhope Drive presents a genuinely rare opportunity to secure spacious single storey living in the heart of Lanchester.
Bungalows within the village are consistently in high demand and seldom remain available for long, particularly on such a quiet and well regarded address.
Situated in the highly sought after village of Lanchester, this beautifully maintained three bedroom, two bathroom detached bungalow offers generous, versatile accommodation in a peaceful yet well connected setting.
Perfect for families seeking lateral living, downsizers wanting space without compromise, or those working from home, the property blends practicality, comfort and charm in equal measure.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.
The spacious lounge is flooded with natural light and provides an elegant yet comfortable setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests.
Flowing seamlessly from the lounge, the dining room creates a wonderful space for family gatherings and social occasions, with easy access to the modern fitted kitchen.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a range of integrated appliances, ample storage and generous worktop space, making it both stylish and highly functional.
Whether preparing everyday meals or hosting dinner parties, it caters effortlessly to modern living.
There are three well proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom that offers a calm and comfortable retreat.
Two bathrooms provide convenience and flexibility for family life or visiting guests.
In addition, there is a versatile external office space, currently arranged as a home office, ideal for remote working, hobbies or even a gym or studio. Externally, the property continues to impress.
The front garden is well established, low maintenance and creates an attractive first impression. To the rear, a private enclosed courtyard and garden area provide a peaceful outdoor haven.
Perfect for al fresco dining, summer entertaining, hanging the washing in the fresh Durham air, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea in complete privacy, the outdoor space feels secure and tranquil.
A driveway to the front offers ample off street parking and leads to an attached double garage, providing secure vehicle storage, additional storage solutions or potential workshop space.
A further rear accessible room adds yet another layer of flexibility to this already adaptable home.
The bungalow is presented in excellent condition throughout and is ready to move straight into, with no major works required.
Bright, airy and immaculately maintained, it is a home that immediately feels welcoming and easy to live in.
Additional benefits include double glazing and a gas central heating system, ensuring comfort and efficiency all year round.
Opportunities like this, particularly detached bungalows on Smallhope Drive, are few and far between. Early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
