Large plot and character-packed interior ready for refurbishment and extension.
Quarter-acre plot with substantial development potential
Set on a generous quarter-acre plot, this spacious four/five-bedroom detached house offers rare scope for a growing family to create a long-term home. The property keeps period character — fireplaces, cornicing and high ceilings — across multiple reception rooms, while the large open-plan living/kitchen space leads directly to a private garden. Off-street parking for two vehicles is accessed via a shared driveway.
This is a clear project: the house requires substantial cosmetic renovation and some unfinished works (bathroom incomplete, plumbing in place for a second bathroom). Heating is by electric room heaters and main fuel is electricity, so upgrading to a modern central system would be advisable. Photos indicate potential damp in areas and general wear consistent with a property needing refurbishment.
The plot is a key value driver. With planning consent it could accommodate extensions or even a building plot, offering development upside for families seeking extra space or investors seeking a rebuild opportunity. The property is freehold with double glazing already installed.
Location is peaceful village living with basic local amenities and good road links to Durham city. Be aware the wider area records high deprivation and average crime statistics; buyers should factor local market and refurbishment costs into their plans.
