Set on a wide, tree-lined street in one of Chester le Street’s most desirable pockets, this double-fronted 1930s detached house combines generous period proportions with a contemporary open-plan extension. The ground floor offers three reception rooms and a bright conservatory-style family area that opens onto a low-maintenance rear garden and summer house — ideal for family life and entertaining. The layout suits multi-generational living or home working, with a versatile study and a separate utility room.
Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with an ensuite shower room and bay window, plus a large four-piece family bathroom. The home’s period features — bay windows, coving and fireplaces — are intact and add character, while the modern kitchen and conservatory provide comfortable everyday living. The property sits on a large plot with a block-paved driveway and a detached double garage offering secure parking and storage.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any decision. The EPC rating is E and glazing install dates are unknown, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax is in Band F and running costs reflect the property’s size. The house was constructed in the 1930s–40s, and while the structure appears well maintained, older properties can require periodic upkeep.
Located close to a range of good local primary schools, commuter links and local amenities, the home suits families seeking space, character and strong transport connections to Durham, Newcastle and beyond. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, plot and flexible accommodation on offer.
