About
Welcome to “Thursden” is an impeccably presented detached bungalow, offering an exceptional standard of finish and a sense of refined quality throughout.
Owned by our clients since 2012, the property has benefitted from a comprehensive programme of thoughtful improvement, refurbishment, and enhancement, resulting in a home that is presented to the market in truly turnkey condition.
Positioned to enjoy far-reaching open views across neighbouring countryside to the rear, the property combines a peaceful setting with the practical advantage of swift transport links via the A68, providing convenient access to Darlington, Spennymoor, and Durham.
The accommodation is both well-proportioned and immaculately maintained.
An inviting entrance porch/conservatory leads through to an elegant living room, featuring a charming inglenook-style fireplace and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light.
There are three generously sized bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes, alongside a stylish and well-appointed shower room complete with walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin.
Undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home is the impressive kitchen diner, positioned at the rear to take full advantage of the outlook over the garden.
The kitchen offers an abundance of storage with a comprehensive range of cabinetry, complemented by durable worktops and a useful adjoining utility room.
The dining area seamlessly opens into a second conservatory, creating a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining while enjoying views of the garden beyond.
A cloakroom/WC, located off the utility, along with the integral garage, completes the internal layout. Externally, the property continues to impress.
A block-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking, while the front and rear gardens are beautifully maintained, predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced with mature shrubs and planted borders.
The rear garden enjoys a pleasant patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, and also features a versatile summer house, previously utilised as a home office.
For added peace of mind, the property is equipped with a security alarm system.
In summary, “Thursden” represents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow of this calibre, where space, quality, and outlook combine to create a truly exceptional home.
