This three-bedroom chalet-style bungalow on College Street is a newly built, freehold home suited to families or first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance modern living. The layout delivers a ground-floor living area with kitchen-diner and adaptable lounge/study, plus three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper level. Integrated appliances, patio doors to the rear garden and an attached garage with electric door add everyday convenience.
The plot is compact and designed for easy upkeep: a paved front drive and a small, lawned rear garden provide outdoor space without extensive maintenance. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the property convenient for home-working and streaming. Nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding are within a short distance, and local buses and road links connect quickly to Bishop Auckland, Darlington and the wider North East.
Buyers should weigh local social and safety factors: the area records higher crime levels and is classed as very deprived, and the immediate neighbourhood comprises hard-pressed rented terraces. The plot is small and the development includes other new builds and ongoing construction, which may mean additional noise and activity during completion. Council tax band is not confirmed.
Overall, this home offers modern fixtures, garage parking and straightforward outdoor space in a well-connected small-town location. It will suit buyers prioritising move-in-ready, low-upkeep accommodation and good transport and digital connectivity, provided they are comfortable with the neighbourhood context.
