3 Bedroom Bungalow

Situated in one of Chester le Street's most highly regarded residential locations, this magnificent detached bungalow lies just a few minutes' walk from the town centre amenities and schools, whilst being adjacent to Chester le Street's lovely Riverside Park. It features outstanding character features whilst offering a beautifully appointed and spacious interior. It also includes good-sized, well-kept gardens and a large detached garage. Properties of this type and calibre are rarely available, and early viewing is strongly advised for those looking for the perfect forever home. The very spacious layout is enhanced by the high ceilings and abundance of natural light, particularly at the front of the property, which features three large walk-in bay windows; two of which have fitted window seats with storage. This deceptive bungalow is well screened from the rear access lane. A gate opens to the enclosed westerly facing landscaped garden. The rear hall has a cloakroom/wc, and opens to the inner halls leading to the main accommodation. There are two large reception rooms and three very well-proportioned double-size bedrooms. The front rooms include the 18ft living room with multi-fuel stove, the 19ft dining room and the 16ft master bedroom (with views of Lumley Castle), all with large bay windows. The kitchen/breakfast room includes oak fronted units and integrated cooking appliances. The large family bathroom includes a white four piece suite and an additional large shower enclosure. From the main hall, a pull-down ladder leads to the very extensive loft space, which spans the full length of the bungalow, including skylight windows with views of Lumley Castle, and offering scope for development of additional living space, subject to planning consent. Elegance and charm are evident throughout the bungalow, with high corniced ceilings, ceiling roses, high skirtings, oak internal doors and oak flooring. The specification includes double glazed wooden windows and gas central heating via radiators with a replacement (2024) Baxi combination boiler. An outstanding, much-loved family home in an absolutely prime residential location.

Holmlands Park is ideally situated between Chester-le-Street's town centre amenities and the attractive Riverside Park area adjacent to the River Wear and First Class County Cricket ground. It therefore lies within walking distance of the town's many shops, leisure facilities, and Park View school. The town is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Sunderland. The town's railway station, also within walking distance, is situated on the main east coast line linking London and Edinburgh, allowing particularly good commuting times to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.
