Lee Hill Court, Lanchester, DH7

Two Bedroom Period Apartment | Private Balcony | Parking Included | No Onward Chain

A spacious two bedroom joint freehold apartment set within an attractive period building, converted in the early twenty first century and positioned within a peaceful residential setting in the heart of Lanchester. One of four apartments within the block, this property offers vacant possession, parking included and no onward chain, this is a home with character, space and clear potential for a buyer looking to modernise and make it their own.

The accommodation has a strong sense of scale throughout, with high ceilings, tall sash style windows and period detailing helping to create a bright and elegant feel. The generous living room is a particular highlight, offering excellent proportions, decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and a feature fireplace. French doors open onto a private balcony, providing a lovely outdoor sitting space with views across the development and surrounding greenery.

The kitchen sits separately from the main living space and offers a practical range of fitted units, worktop space and room for day to day dining. While perfectly usable, it also gives the next owner the opportunity to update the space and create a more modern finish in keeping with their own taste.

There are two well proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from good natural light and high ceilings. The main bedroom is a generous double, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, working from home or additional living space if required. The property also benefits from both a bathroom and a separate shower room, adding useful practicality for a two bedroom apartment.

Externally, the property forms part of an attractive period conversion with established communal surroundings, mature planting and a pleasant courtyard feel. Parking is included, adding further convenience for residents and visitors.

A garage is also included within the sale within a separate garage block.
