Description

This notable period family residence sits on a generous plot of approximately 0.65 acres, presenting exceptional potential for both renovation and development. The property is ideal for those looking to modernize or extend the existing structure, or possibly seek planning permission for a detached dwelling on the site, given the two separate access points available. Having remained in the same family for over four decades, the house retains original features but requires updates throughout. Inside, it boasts a spacious layout with an entrance porch and hallway leading to a double aspect lounge with bay windows and a fireplace, paired with an adjoining dining room featuring access to a sun porch. A versatile playroom offers options for use as a fifth bedroom or office space. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with essential amenities and leads to a conservatory overlooking the sizeable garden area. The first floor comprises four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms. An expansive attic space, already boarded and fitted with Velux windows, could further enhance living areas if developed. Outside, the well-established gardens provide ample room for children or could be utilized for further construction under appropriate planning permissions. With ongoing dialogues regarding potential developments already initiated with local authorities, this property stands out as an investment opportunity in a location just outside Durham city centre, close to schools and major road links.
