This substantial period home, set on approximately 0.65 acres, presents a remarkable prospect for renovation and potential development. With the possibility of extending the existing structure or obtaining planning permission for an additional detached residence, this property offers versatility for investors and homeowners alike. The house has been cherished by the same family for over four decades and is in need of modernisation throughout. Its generous layout includes an entrance porch, hallway, a double-aspect lounge with two bay windows and a feature fireplace, as well as a dining room with sliding doors leading to a sun porch that overlooks the side garden. Additionally, a playroom provides flexibility as it could serve various functions, including being transformed into a fifth bedroom or office space.
The kitchen/breakfast area is equipped with essential features but requires updating. A conservatory extends from the kitchen, offering views of the expansive garden. The utility room is practical with plumbing for laundry appliances. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes; two principal bedrooms benefit from dual aspects showcasing different garden views. The property also features two bathrooms on this level.
A boarded attic area with three Velux windows opens up further potential for development (subject to planning). Outside, there's ample parking through two separate vehicular access points and several outbuildings for storage. Discussions have already taken place with local authorities regarding potential development approvals. Strategically located near Durham city centre and educational facilities, this property not only boasts sizeable grounds but also excellent transport links via the A(167). This property stands as an ideal investment opportunity in a desirable locale.
