For those commuting, Darlington's mainline train station is easily accessible, providing direct links along the East Coast Line to major cities such as London and Edinburgh. Scotch Corner is also close by for convenient access to additional services and road links to the A1 and A66.
The property is approached via a private driveway that grants it a sense of seclusion within its generous plot. Ample parking is available alongside a single garage. The stone-built bungalow showcases a classic layout with distinct rooms; the living room features a Calor gas fire and leads into an inviting conservatory that offers views of the garden throughout the seasons.
The kitchen combines functionality with solid oak cabinetry and space for dining, complemented by an adjoining utility room for practicality. There's also an additional formal dining room ideal for entertaining family or guests.
The home comprises three double bedrooms, including one with fitted wardrobes, while the family bathroom is spacious and includes both a bath and overhead shower.
A notable aspect of this property is its large loft area divided into three sections; one part is already finished with flooring and decorations—ideal for further development pending necessary permissions.
Outdoors, the well-maintained garden features lawned areas around an ornamental pond, bordered by a small stream that enhances the tranquil setting. The expansive plot offers considerable flexibility for those interested in gardening or outdoor projects.
With approved planning permission for both a sizeable family residence and an additional bungalow, this site holds substantial development opportunities. Whether envisioning multi-generational living arrangements or pursuing new builds to either sell or retain as part of your portfolio, this property provides multiple avenues for investment.
Further alterations to enhance the existing bungalow include proposed plans to transform the garage into an en suite bedroom space with dressing facilities; creating another garage adjacent to the bungalow could be another viable option.
