Summary - 15, Gillas Lane West, HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH5 8JX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Four-bedroom detached on large plot, renovate and extend in desirable tree-lined Gillas Lane West.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms across spacious traditional layout
Set back on a mature, tree-lined avenue in one of Houghton-le-Spring’s most desirable pockets, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a generous plot with scope to extend. The layout includes two to three reception rooms, a conservatory, a sizable kitchen and utility, plus a detached garage and wide driveway — features that suit growing families who need space and storage.
The property has been lovingly lived in for decades but requires renovation to restore its original charm and bring fittings up to modern standards. Key positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown), a south-facing rear garden and fast broadband; notable drawbacks are the renovation requirement and above-average council tax banding.
Location is a strong selling point: close to Houghton-le-Spring town centre amenities, a cluster of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, and quick road links via the A690 to the A19 and A1(M). Commuters to Sunderland and Durham will find the position convenient while enjoying the quieter, executive feel of Gillas Lane West.
Offered chain free, this home is a clear project for families seeking long-term space and potential. With its generous plot and classic details, it will reward someone ready to invest in updating and possibly extending to create a bespoke family residence.
