Summary - HEATHER RIDGE CRAGHEAD ROAD PELTON FELL CHESTER LE STREET DH2 2NU
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Large gardens, gated driveway and double garage for family living.
Chain free detached bungalow on approx. half-acre plot
Set on about half an acre and approached via an electronically gated sweeping driveway, this detached three-bedroom bungalow combines generous indoor space with extensive private gardens and open views across nearby horse fields. The main living areas include a dual-aspect lounge with log-burning stove, a sunroom with direct garden access, a formal dining area, and a large breakfasting kitchen with integrated ovens and a utility room — practical for everyday family life and entertaining.
All three double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and en-suite facilities, giving family members and guests a degree of privacy not often found in bungalows. Practical features include an extensive driveway with an additional gravelled parking area, a detached double garage and an EV charging point. The property is offered chain free and sits within reach of local shops, bus links and several well-rated primary schools.
Buyers should note some important maintenance and efficiency issues. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s, has double glazing fitted before 2002, cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), and an EPC rating of D — upgrades to glazing, wall insulation and heating could significantly improve comfort and running costs. Heating is via warm-air mains gas, and Council Tax is band E.
The location is semi-rural but within a wider area classed as deprived with above-average local crime statistics; purchasers should weigh these community factors alongside the house’s generous plot, flexible accommodation and renovation potential. For those looking for a substantial single-storey home with scope to personalise, this property offers immediate comfort and clear opportunities to add value.
