Occupying approximately half an acre in a quiet Shotley Bridge cul-de-sac, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare, private plot with a mature Oak and regular deer visits. The well-maintained home measures about 956 sq ft and already benefits from recent upgrades including a new front door, triple glazing to the front elevation and main bathroom, and a recently updated gas heating system with a smart thermostat.
Internally the layout is traditional with scope to modernise and personalise. The fully boarded loft provides storage and potential for conversion (subject to consents), while the integral garage with internal and rear access, driveway parking and two large solid wood work sheds plus a greenhouse support hobbies and practical needs. The generous garden and overall plot make the property particularly attractive to buyers seeking extension or redevelopment opportunities, subject to planning permission.
Buyers should note the property is described as needing renovation in places and offers a blank canvas for updating. The site lies within a coal mining reporting area so further searches may be required. Council Tax Band D, freehold tenure and very low local crime levels add practical reassurance, while fast broadband and reasonable commuting distances to Durham and Newcastle suit working households.
This bungalow will appeal to downsizers or families wanting ground‑floor living on a substantial plot, and to purchasers looking for development potential in a sought-after village setting. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the gardens and the conversion/extension possibilities on offer.
