Description

This detached bungalow is set on a spacious plot at the edge of West Rainton, providing an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. With no onward chain, the property allows for immediate focus on its potential. The existing layout features three sizable bedrooms and generous living spaces that could benefit from modernization, making it a prime candidate for updates tailored to personal or market preferences. Entering through the useful porch, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that includes practical storage solutions such as a cloaks cupboard and a convenient WC. The highlight of the home is undoubtedly the expansive open-plan living and dining area, measuring approximately 32 feet in length, which features a cozy fireplace and direct access to the rear garden via patio doors. Adjacent to this space lies the kitchen, designed with ample room for dining, and connecting seamlessly to a bright conservatory that further enhances the living space. Each of the three double bedrooms offers generous dimensions; two come equipped with fitted wardrobes while one has previously served as an additional reception area, showcasing versatility in usage. The family bathroom is functional yet presents an opportunity for enhancement. Outside, the property boasts an extensive driveway leading to a detached double garage equipped with power and lighting—ideal for both parking and storage needs. The surrounding gardens provide privacy and space for outdoor activities or landscaping projects. West Rainton benefits from local amenities while being surrounded by scenic countryside. Its location offers easy access to Durham City and Sunderland via the A690, making it a desirable area for both homeowners and renters alike. This combination of space, location, and potential makes this property an intriguing prospect for investors or those looking to create their ideal home.
