Description

Welcome to Chestnut Lodge, a serene residence offering an idyllic mix of semi-rural tranquillity and close links to Durham city. Set in the historic old hamlet of Hallgarth in High Pittington, a small conservation area, and just three minutes’ walk from the Grade I listed St Laurence Church and grounds, the property is situated only four miles out of the neighbouring city of Durham.

Chestnut Lodge resides elegantly within its grounds, comprising an approximate 0.5-acre plot. The property is placed centrally within wraparound gardens, ensuring privacy. The stone walled, open entrance leads to a large, sweeping drive which provides access to the property.

The bungalow itself opens with a storm porch, leading to a spacious hallway, including a cloakroom. To the front of the house and overlooking the ample front garden lies a comfortable lounge, finished with a bespoke, brick fireplace and log-burning stove, ideal for relaxed and cosy family living.

Leading off from the hallway is a generous dining room, with patio doors that look onto the rear garden and provide views of the fields beyond.

To the rear of the property lies the kitchen, featuring fitted units and space for a dining table; to the rear is a separate, practical utility space with garden access.

The property houses three double bedrooms all accessible on one corridor. The main bedroom is situated at the end of the corridor, has en-suite facilities and overlooks rear garden.

The second bedroom is a well-proportioned room, situated to the front of the property, with fitted wardrobes. The third double bedroom is currently utilised as an office.

A generous family bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower completes the internal layout of the property.

Externally, the gardens are vast, mainly laid to lawn, with a beautiful wildflower rockery and populated by mature trees. A charming stone-built former stable provides useful storage, and has the potential for conversion to a summer house or gym.

The exterior also features a large, block-paved driveway and a double garage, with power and lighting.

The property has been a well-loved and cherished family home; although some aspects require modernisation or cosmetic updating, Chestnut Lodge offers both potential for development (subject to planning and building regulations), or as a charming family home.

Hallgarth is conveniently positioned for access to the local primary school. It lies within easy driving distance to the historic city of Durham, where a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and other amenities are available. High Pittington is well-placed for commuting purposes, as it lies a short drive from the A690 Durham to Sunderland highway, and the A1.
