Description

This generously sized bungalow presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Nestled in a desirable cul-de-sac location, the home boasts south-facing gardens and ample gated parking, making it ideal for families seeking space and accessibility. With an inviting layout that includes two reception rooms, three bedrooms, and extensive attic space, there is considerable scope for customization to create a tailored living environment. The central hall leads to a substantial living room measuring 17 feet, alongside a dedicated dining area and an expansive kitchen extension of 18 feet, offering flexibility for modern redesigns. The additional three large attic rooms could be transformed into extra living spaces or bedrooms, expanding the property's livable area substantially. While the bungalow requires updating throughout, it is positioned well within walking distance to local amenities and excellent commuter links to major cities like Durham and Newcastle. This property is offered with a Freehold Title and no onward chain, making it an appealing choice for buyers prepared to invest time into revitalizing this substantial dwelling.
