This stone-built three-bedroom semi-detached house sits quietly in a cul-de-sac in sought-after Staindrop. The layout provides family-friendly living: open-plan kitchen/diner, separate living room with glazed doors to a conservatory, and three first-floor bedrooms served by two bathrooms. The home is offered chain-free and benefits from an integral garage, off-street parking and a small front garden with mature shrubs.
Practical features include gas central heating with a recently installed boiler (located in the garage), double glazing throughout and a useful timber shed to the rear patio. The property’s construction and dressed-stone façade lend village character while the accommodation and room sizes suit growing families or buyers seeking a comfortable village base within reach of Darlington, Barnard Castle and Durham.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the plot is small with limited outdoor space, and there is only one off-street parking space. Flood risk is assessed as medium for the area — buyers should seek local flood history and insurance quotes. Double glazing was installed prior to 2002, so windows may be older and could require eventual replacement. The immediate outlook is residential, with no long-distance or landscape views.
Overall this home offers dependable village living, sensible running costs (mains gas, council tax band C) and immediate availability. It will suit families or buyers seeking a low-hassle, characterful property in a well-served village; however, purchasers wanting larger gardens, off-road parking for multiple vehicles or expansive views should note the site’s limitations.
