Set on a substantial corner plot of approximately 0.35 acre, this extended three-bedroom semi offers scope and space rarely found so close to Durham city. The ground-floor extension provides a large lounge, dining room with patio access and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with pantry — ideal for family life and flexible layouts.
Outside there is a long driveway, garage with electric roller door, enclosed gardens, greenhouse and shed; mature trees (some with Tree Preservation Orders) provide privacy and character. The property is well placed for a range of good local primary and secondary schools and has easy road links to the A167 for commuting.
Important practical points: the house requires modernisation throughout and would benefit from a full programme of updating. The sale is a probate transaction; buyers should be aware the plot lies within a Coal Mining Reporting Area and several trees are protected. Council Tax Band E and a higher local crime score are also disclosed.
This home suits a growing family or purchasers seeking renovation potential on a very large plot. With planning and investment it would deliver a comfortable family home or a substantial garden development opportunity (subject to planning). Viewings are recommended to appreciate the plot and internal space.
