Summary - Longdean Park, Chester Le Street, Durham, DH3 DH3 4DG
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Large detached family home with garage, gardens and scope to modernise in Longdean Park.
Five bedrooms including master with en-suite and walk-in closet
Set on a large plot in Longdean Park, this five-bedroom detached house was the estate show home and has been carefully maintained. The layout suits a growing family: generous reception rooms, a ground-floor study, conservatory, kitchen/diner, utility and an impressive master bedroom with en-suite and walk-in closet. Practical updates already completed include a new electric distribution board (July) and a replaced porch roof with repointing.
The property offers immediate liveability with clear scope to modernise and personalise. Large, bright rooms and dual-aspect living space provide comfortable family living; the enclosed rear garden, mature borders and broad driveway with integral double garage add everyday convenience. EPC rating C and mains gas central heating mean running costs are reasonable compared with older inefficient homes.
Buyers should note material considerations: parts of the interior show dated fittings and will require modernisation to reach contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are slow locally despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax sits at band F and will be a notable ongoing cost. Built in the 1980s, glazing is double but installation date is unknown and some updating may be required over time.
This home will suit a family wanting space, parking and a large garden in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood, or an investor targeting a quality rental in a sought-after area. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, layout and potential to modernise for long-term value.
