Four double bedrooms, principal and second with en-suites
Set within the original walled grounds of Hermitage Gardens, this executive four-double-bedroom detached house balances period charm with contemporary family living. The property offers an impressive open-plan kitchen and family space, a formal dining room, a generous living room with bay window and fireplace, plus a convenient study and utility room—ideal for modern household routines.
The principal suite and second bedroom both include en-suites, supported by a third family bathroom, giving flexible sleeping and bathing arrangements for a growing family or guests. A double garage and paved driveway provide secure parking; the rear garden is a standout feature — walled, private and backing onto mature woodland with lawn, decking and mature borders.
Practical details are honest and clear: the home was built c.1996–2002, is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing (install dates unknown) and an EPC rating of C. Council Tax sits at Band G, so running costs are higher than average. The loft has accessible space via a hatch and drop-down ladder and could offer potential subject to permissions.
Location strengths include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus easy access to Chester-le-Street town centre, public transport and mainline rail links to Durham and Newcastle. Local schools are mostly rated Good by Ofsted, making this an appealing family location. The property is presented with tasteful finishes but, given age and size, buyers should expect typical maintenance and update cycles rather than brand-new specification.
