3 Bedroom Detached House

This detached family home occupies a generous plot in a highly regarded city-centre location. Situated within the popular Sands estate, the property enjoys a desirable cul-de-sac position, pleasant rear views and is offered with No Forward Chain and Vacant Possession.

Although the property would benefit from some modernisation, it offers huge potential and represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to create a superb family home in an enviable location. The property is within a short walk of the historic City Centre and the picturesque riverside walks along the River Wear.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is accessed via a welcoming entrance porch leading into the hallway.

The generous lounge is open plan to the separate dining room, with both rooms benefiting from large picture windows which allow an abundance of natural light to flood the space. A side conservatory overlooks the gardens and enjoys picturesque views to the rear, with double doors providing access to the front.

There is a fitted kitchen, separate utility room and useful ground-floor WC.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards, a further single bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom fitted with a white suite and shower over the bath.

The basement provides a versatile additional space, currently utilised as an office. With its generous proportions, this area could lend itself to a variety of uses, subject to any necessary permissions, including a garden room, home bar, cinema room, playroom or simply additional storage.

The basement also benefits from a bathroom and separate WC.

Externally, the property features a block-paved driveway, a single attached garage and attractive wraparound terraced gardens. The gardens are well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and trees and include patio areas, providing an attractive setting in which to relax and enjoy the picturesque views towards the River Wear.

Wearside Drive is a popular and sought-after residential area situated within easy walking distance of Durham City Centre, with its comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.

The property is also just a few minutes' walk from the banks of the River Wear, where there are picturesque riverside and countryside walks.

For commuters, the property is conveniently positioned for access to the A690 Durham to Sunderland Highway, which in turn provides access to the A1(M) motorway interchange at Carrville. This makes the property ideally placed for those travelling throughout the region.
