Hawthorn Crescent, Gilesgate, Durham, DH1

Prominently situated on a generous plot, this detached family home offers huge potential to a developer or someone looking to place their own stamp on a new home.

The property requires modernisation throughout whilst offering scope to extend off-road parking provision beyond the current 2 spaces within the lengthy front garden and, if desired, and subject to the necessary permissions, to create an enlarged kitchen/family room at the rear and/or a two-storey extension on the footprint of the current garage.

The property comprises an entrance hallway, a generous lounge with sliding doors to a separate dining room with a picture window and glazed door overlooking the rear garden. There is a fitted kitchen with a larder-style cupboard, a separate utility room, a downstairs W/C and a garage providing a convenient storage area. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. The private, well-stocked rear garden boasts both lawn and patio areas.

Hawthorn Crescent is situated within the well-regarded High Grange Estate and offers easy walking access to the Willowtree Avenue convenience store and post office. High Grange Estate is a short drive from Dragonville Retail Park, and provides quick road access, via the A690, to Durham City Centre in one direction and junction 62 on the A1(M) in the other.
