Summary - 9 WHITEFIELD PIT HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH4 7JU
5 bed 2 bath House
Half-acre plot with solar power and versatile outbuildings for practical family living.
Five double bedrooms plus large first-floor room/office or sixth bedroom
An individually designed five-double-bedroom detached bungalow set on around half an acre of landscaped grounds, offering generous living space and significant outbuildings. The house combines a large open-plan dining kitchen, spacious lounge, sunroom and a versatile first-floor room that can serve as a master suite, office or sixth bedroom. The plot includes a working allotment, polytunnel, sheds and captured-water tanks — ideal for gardeners and self-sufficiency projects.
Energy performance is a clear strength: extensive solar panels and battery storage across the house and garage reduce running costs substantially and support independent power use. A detached double garage with WC and a sizeable room/office above provides secure parking and adaptable workspace, accessed via a multi-vehicle block-paved driveway behind dual gates. The property sits in a secluded, quiet position with straightforward access to major commuting routes.
Practical considerations are honest and simple. The current interior décor shows signs of age in places and would benefit from updating to match the house’s scale and quality. There are two main bathrooms serving five/six bedrooms, which may be a constraint for large households. The property is entered from an unadopted private road — worth noting for maintenance and access expectations.
Overall this is a substantial family home with strong sustainability features, extensive outdoor space and flexible accommodation. It will suit buyers who value privacy, gardening potential and low energy bills, and who are prepared to modernise interior finishes to their own taste.
