Located in Darlington’s West End, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living on a generous plot, recently fully refurbished for contemporary comfort. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/diner with granite surfaces, breakfast island and utility room, ideal for relaxed family life or accessible downsizing. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite; a well-appointed family bathroom serves the other bedrooms.
Practical strengths include a wide driveway with ample off-street parking, gated side access, a low-maintenance patio, lawn and summer house. The property is freehold, has fast ultrafast broadband availability and excellent mobile coverage — useful for home working or staying connected. Interiors show modern fixtures and quality finishes throughout following the refurbishment.
Buyers should note the property has an EPC rating of F and the original cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation; further energy improvements may be needed to reduce running costs. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s, so while recently updated, buyers seeking a completely new-build specification should expect some period construction features to remain.
This bungalow suits downsizers or families seeking single-level living in a very affluent neighbourhood, close to parks and well-rated schools. It combines ready-to-live-in presentation with clear potential for energy improvements, making it a comfortable short-term home with scope to add long-term value.
