About
Set within the well-regarded Racecourse Estate in Shotley Bridge, this attractive three-bedroom detached home occupies a generous corner plot within the cul-de-sac and instantly charms with its wisteria-draped frontage.
A block-paved driveway leads to the garage, while the elevated entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with elegant tiled flooring, a carpet runner with feature carpet rods, and a generous understairs storage cupboard.
The ground floor features a stylish W.C. with panelled walls and a gas combi boiler, there W.C. is also plumbed for a washing machine.
The lounge is a bright space with a dual aspect and has a decorative fireplace.
Double doors from the hall open into a recently modernised kitchen diner, fitted with sleek grey cabinetry and luxurious quartz worktops, which is complemented by a matching quartz backsplash.
A bow window adds character and natural light, while integrated appliances - including double oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and sink with waste disposal - provide practicality alongside style.
From here, a glazed door leads to a large conservatory, perfect for relaxed dining or summer evenings, with access to the low-maintenance rear garden.
Designed for easy care, the garden is laid with artificial lawn and features a decked seating area.
A side door leads to the garage, complete with power, lighting, plumbing, loft storage, and potential for utility use.
Upstairs, the dual-aspect main bedroom enjoys countryside glimpses and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe with natural light, which could also serve as a home office.
The beautifully tiled en-suite shower room boasts a rainfall shower, vanity basin and W.C. Two further bedrooms each include built-in storage.
A family bathroom with bath, basin and W.C., finished with a practical PVC surround, completes the accommodation.
Well-positioned for village amenities, walks and easy access to neighbouring towns by car, this home offers a blend of style, comfort and convenience in a desirable Shotley Bridge setting.
Shotley Bridge village is a sought-after residential area and has a charming range of local shops and amenities including a primary school (infant and junior schools), a fantastic tennis and cricket club.
Consett town centre is 1.5 miles away and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and sporting facilities.
There are several popular countrywide walks and cycle routes, including along the River Derwent and further into neighbouring Northumberland.
