High Pittington, Durham, DH6

Chestnut Lodge presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a peaceful setting just outside Durham city. Nestled within the historic Hallgarth conservation area, this bungalow sits on approximately 0.5 acres of wraparound gardens, offering a blend of semi-rural charm and easy access to local amenities. The property features a generous layout including three double bedrooms, a spacious lounge with a bespoke brick fireplace, and a dining room that overlooks the gardens. While the kitchen includes fitted units and a utility space, it shows potential for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Externally, the grounds are extensive and primarily laid to lawn, complete with mature trees and a wildflower rockery, while the stone-built former stable offers possibilities for conversion into additional living or leisure space. With its sizeable driveway leading to a double garage equipped with power and lighting, Chestnut Lodge is well-equipped for family living but does require some cosmetic updates to unlock its full potential as either a cherished family home or an investment opportunity (subject to necessary planning permissions).
