Set in a peaceful cul-de-sac in Durham, this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living on a large plot — ideal for buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The home has been newly refurbished with a recently refitted kitchen, contemporary finishes, and a relaxing conservatory that overlooks an enclosed rear garden. A double driveway and single garage add practical parking and storage.
The layout is traditional and comfortable: a long lounge with bay window connects to the conservatory, a separate dining area sits adjacent to the new kitchen, and there is a useful utility room and ground-floor WC. Two bathrooms (including an en-suite) and three generous bedrooms make this bungalow liveable straight away. Heating is gas-fired with a modern boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install dates unknown).
Buyers should note the property is sold by auction with a Modern Method of Auction. A non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer’s premium and a Buyer Information Pack fee apply. The property is freehold and offered chain free, but completion is required within the auction reservation period.
Practical considerations: broadband provision is mixed in the area (basic speeds reported), council tax is Band F (higher running cost), and external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. These are manageable but relevant for buyers prioritising energy efficiency and connectivity.
