This newly renovated detached bungalow in Waterside, Darlington, offers flexible living across two floors — ideal for families or downsizers who want ground-floor convenience with extra space upstairs. The accommodation includes a living room with conservatory, kitchen breakfast room, a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite, two further first-floor bedrooms, and three bathrooms in total. Thoughtful extensions and the converted loft create more space than the exterior first suggests.
Practical benefits include an integral garage with adjoining utility room, a pressed-concrete driveway for off-street parking, double glazing installed post-2002 and gas central heating throughout. The plot is a decent size with low-maintenance landscaped front and rear gardens, and the property is a short stroll from Cockerton Green and local shops. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding make this location suitable for families.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area and crime levels described as above average; these are material considerations for insurance and security planning. The property is freehold, council tax band D and an EPC is currently to be confirmed. Constructed around 1976–82, the house benefits from modern updates yet sits in a communal-retirement classified neighbourhood.
Overall this is a practical, recently refurbished home that will suit buyers wanting ready-to-move-in accommodation with flexible layout options, convenient parking and nearby amenities. Investors seeking a low-management property or families wanting single-level living with spare bedrooms upstairs will both find the layout appealing.
