About
Positioned within the ever-popular Oakley Manor development in West Auckland, this immaculately presented three double bedroom detached residence offers a superb opportunity for buyers seeking a home that combines modern styling, practical family living and a location that continues to grow in demand.
Thoughtfully improved by the current owners, the property has undergone a series of tasteful upgrades in recent years, creating a home that feels fresh, contemporary and ready to move straight into.
From the outset, the property delivers a strong first impression, enhanced by newly installed front windows and replacement front and rear doors, alongside a refreshed frontage that immediately reflects the care and investment that has gone into the home.
The attractive gravelled front garden combines perfectly with the private driveway to create a clean and modern approach, while the detached positioning adds to the sense of space and privacy rarely found within similarly priced homes.
Internally, the accommodation is both well-balanced and versatile, making it ideally suited to first-time buyers stepping into the detached market, as well as growing families looking for additional flexibility.
The ground floor centres around a bright and welcoming living room, offering an excellent everyday retreat while still flowing naturally through to the kitchen area.
Practicality has been carefully considered throughout, with the former garage having been professionally converted to create an additional reception space currently lending itself perfectly as a playroom, snug or highly sought-after home office.
Increasingly important for modern lifestyles, this added flexibility is a standout feature rarely found at this price point.
The kitchen provides ample workspace and storage while remaining well connected to the rest of the ground floor layout, making it highly functional for both busy family life and entertaining.
Newly installed flooring throughout parts of the home this year further enhances the fresh and move-in-ready feel found across the property.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three genuine double bedrooms, each offering comfortable proportions and flexibility for growing families, guests or those requiring additional workspace.
The bathrooms have been well maintained, while the overall presentation remains consistent with the stylish and immaculate finish carried throughout the property.
Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully revamped to create a highly usable and visually appealing outdoor space designed very much for modern living.
Generous paved seating areas combine with an attractive artificial lawn and contemporary fencing to deliver a low-maintenance environment ideal for relaxing, entertaining or family use throughout the warmer months.
The addition of covered seating areas and carefully positioned planting helps create a private and inviting setting that feels both practical and stylish.
Oakley Manor remains one of West Auckland’s most popular residential settings, particularly with buyers seeking convenient access into Bishop Auckland, Tindale Retail Park and surrounding commuter routes.
Excellent road links nearby provide straightforward connectivity across the region, while a range of schools, amenities and leisure facilities are all within easy reach.
A stylish detached home with genuine versatility, modern upgrades and beautifully landscaped outdoor space, this is a property that will undoubtedly attract strong early interest from a wide range of buyers.
