Set on a large plot in Shotley Bridge, this period 4-bedroom semi-detached home blends Edwardian character with generous family living spaces. High ceilings, stained glass, ornate fireplaces and herringbone flooring give immediate period charm, while a bespoke kitchen with island and integrated appliances creates a practical modern hub for everyday family life. The open-plan kitchen-diner-lounge with sliding doors opens onto an exceptional private garden, patio and pond — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Practicality is strong: off-street parking for up to three cars, a separate laundry/boot room, and a ground-floor WC add convenience. The house has gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and features like dual heated towel rails in the bathroom and a freestanding bath add comfort. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, sports clubs and direct routes to Consett, Durham and Newcastle make this an attractive family location.
Be clear-eyed about the property’s fabric and services: the home has secondary glazing and original solid brick walls with no built-in insulation (likely to need upgrading for higher thermal efficiency). Broadband speeds are slow locally. Council Tax is above average (Band E). These are tangible running-cost and improvement considerations for buyers looking to modernise energy performance or digital connectivity.
For families wanting generous living space, period detail and a substantial garden in a well-connected town, this house offers immediate comfort with further scope to improve energy efficiency and broadband. The property is best suited to buyers prepared to invest modestly to modernise services while enjoying mature gardens and classic features.
