Escomb Road, Bishop Auckland

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an outstanding 3 Bedroom Period residence, set within a much sought after area of Bishop Auckland, which is home to the spectacular open air night show Kynren - An Epic Tale of England. The property is ideally situated for local amenities with a broad range of schools, shopping and recreational facilities within close proximity. The A68 and A1 (M) are within easy reach offering excellent transport links to neighbouring towns and major commercial centres of the North East.

This impeccable property is a credit to the current vendors who have recently overseen an extensive refurbishment, retains a wealth of stunning original features which have been painstakingly restored and work in harmony with a range of contemporary fixtures and fittings throughout.

Space is also an important factor in this property with all of the rooms being generously proportioned in both floor area and ceiling height.

Warmed via Gas Central Heating and benefitting from uPVC Double Glazing, the internal layout briefly comprises, Entrance Vestibule, Hallway with staircase rising to the first floor, Lounge, separate Dining Room and Breakfasting Kitchen with concealed staircase leading to an extensive Basement, which has been fully converted into a very versatile area, that could be utilised for a number of purposes.

To the first floor there is a spacious landing, Three Bedrooms and a pristine Family Bathroom.

Externally to the front of the house there is a wall enclosed forecourt, whilst to the rear an enclosed yard with gated access. Across the lane there is an enclosed Garden, which is laid to lawn.

In our opinion, ready to move into period properties of this size and internal specifications, are rarely available to the sales market and therefore only an internal inspection will truly suffice to fully appreciate this exceptional family home.
