Description

Lightfoot House is an exceptional conversion that beautifully blends period character with contemporary design, creating a collection of distinctive, high-quality homes. The building retains an abundance of original features including high ceilings, large light-enhancing windows, solid wooden internal doors, deep window sills and high skirting boards, while the communal hallway with its original fireplace provides an immediate sense of charm and heritage.

This impressive first-floor apartment offers spacious, well-appointed accommodation with a clear sense of quality throughout. The standout feature is the large dual-aspect open plan living, dining and kitchen space, which is flooded with natural light and provides an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is finished to a high specification, featuring painted wood units complemented by white granite worktops, along with a range of integrated appliances including electric hob, oven, chimney-style extractor, fridge freezer and stainless steel sink with mixer tap.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefitting from fitted storage, offering practical and flexible accommodation. The bathroom is generously sized and finished with a contemporary white suite, comprising WC, wash hand basin, bath with shower mixer attachment and a separate shower cubicle with mains-fed shower, delivering both style and functionality.

Well suited to a variety of buyers, the apartment would particularly appeal to downsizers seeking quality town centre living, as well as investors or those looking for a turnkey holiday let opportunity.

Positioned on Kingsway, the property enjoys a prime central location, just a short walk from Bishop Auckland’s marketplace. A wide range of amenities including shops, cafés and essential services are all within easy reach, while allocated parking ensures convenience for those commuting to surrounding areas.
