Summary - 15, Gillas Lane West, HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH5 8JX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot with garage and excellent school access for family living.
Chain-free four-bedroom detached house on large plot
Set on a generous, tree-lined plot in one of Gillas Lane West’s most desirable pockets, this four-bedroom detached house offers a rare family-sized footprint and scope to personalise. The property includes a long driveway, detached garage and a south-facing rear garden — practical outdoor space for children and pets. Its traditional layout provides two/three reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen, utility and a sizeable first-floor bathroom.
The home has been lovingly occupied for decades but requires renovation throughout; this is reflected in the asking price and offers clear scope to update services, finishes and layout to modern standards. Benefits already in place include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown), no flood risk and freehold tenure. The property is sold chain-free, helping a quick move for buyers who want to start work promptly.
Location is a strong selling point for families: well-regarded primary schools and secondary options are nearby, and the A690 gives rapid access to the A19 and A1(M) for regional commuting. The neighbourhood is very affluent with low local crime, fast broadband and average mobile signal — practical for remote working and family life.
For buyers seeking a generous plot in a mature, tree-lined setting, this house delivers excellent extension and remodelling potential. Viewings are essential to appreciate room proportions and the opportunity to create a comfortable, updated family home in a highly sought suburb.
