Set on a large plot in the peaceful Merrybent village, this extended 1930s detached house offers generous family living across nearly 1,960 sq ft. The ground floor blends formal and open-plan spaces — a large lounge, dining kitchen opening to a striking conservatory, and a useful study/ground-floor bedroom — ideal for home working or multigenerational use. The rear faces south and has far-reaching, unobstructed views from the main bedroom balcony.
The private block‑paved driveway and mature, secluded garden with a timber seating lodge create a calm, country feel a short drive from Darlington. Practical features include off‑street parking and a garage at the side. The property is offered chain free and currently has an offer on file, so interested buyers should note any competing offers may be invited.
Important practical points: heating is by an oil‑fired boiler to radiators, the walls are cavity with no added insulation assumed, and the EPC is grade G. Council Tax is in Band F, which reflects higher annual running costs. While the house is spacious and sympathetically extended, buyers should expect to factor in energy‑efficiency upgrades and routine refurbishment rather than immediate cosmetic overhaul.
This home will suit a family seeking sizeable, flexible accommodation in a quiet village setting with excellent broadband and mobile coverage. It also presents opportunity for owners to improve energy performance and personalise finishes to modern standards.
