This extended four-bedroom detached house on Hartside View has been modernised for open-plan family living while remaining just three miles from Durham. The ground floor flows from a separate lounge into a vaulted kitchen/dining/family room with integrated appliances, Velux rooflights and bi-fold doors that open onto a landscaped rear garden and exterior garden room. A large driveway and single garage provide generous off-street parking.
Internally the property benefits from contemporary finishes—Calacatta marble-effect tiled floors, high-gloss kitchen units and a master ensuite—so it is ready for family occupation with minimal immediate works. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing are in place, though the glazing predates 2002 and cavity walls are assumed to have partial insulation.
Practical points to note: EPC rating D and the property sits in an area with higher-than-average deprivation levels. The plot is a decent size and low-maintenance landscaping (artificial grass, large patio) will suit busy families, but buyers seeking a large overall footprint should note the listing records the overall size as small.
Well-located for schools, village amenities and commuter routes, this home will suit a growing family wanting modern accommodation close to Durham city. Internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the layout, light and outdoor space.
