Summary - 12, DERWENTWATER AVENUE, CHESTER LE STREET DH2 3HD
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large plot, private garden and excellent scope for modernisation and value.
Substantially extended rear and side for generous family accommodation
Substantially extended and set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom semi offers generous family accommodation across a very favourable plot. The living space includes a 25ft living room, an L-shaped 19ft x 17ft kitchen/dining extension and a 23ft extended bedroom with room to add an en-suite while retaining large bedroom space. Two garages (25ft and 18ft), an additional store room and driveway provide abundant storage and parking for family life.
The south-westerly facing rear garden is well screened and private, ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. The property benefits from gas central heating with a replacement combination boiler installed in 2020 and uPVC double glazing, reducing immediate heating concerns. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach and the town centre, transport links and rail station are close by, making this a practical commuter family base.
The house is offered chain free and attractively priced to reflect that it requires modernisation. Cosmetic updating and some remedial works are needed throughout: interiors, kitchen and bathrooms will benefit from replacement and modern finishes to unlock full value. The freehold excludes an additional garage/garden/drive immediately in front of that garage — this land is not registered and is not included in the title.
A buyer seeking space, scope and a strong plot will value the potential here. For a family wanting long-term accommodation in a well-regarded estate, this home delivers scale, parking and garden privacy, with clear opportunity to modernise and personalise to taste.
