Offering flexible accommodation across two floors, this detached dormer bungalow provides excellent scope for improvement and would suit a range of purchasers looking for a rewarding project in a highly desirable location. Positioned behind a wrap around front garden, the property also benefits from a tiered rear garden with a recently upgraded retaining wall, together with an off-street parking bay.

This is a much-loved family home that has been within the same family for over 40 years. The property has recently been improved with the addition of new windows and external doors.

The accommodation begins with a front porch, creating a bright and welcoming entrance. From here, doors lead directly into the main lounge and a ground-floor bedroom positioned to the front elevation. The lounge features an obsolete gas fire and leads through to an inner hallway which provides access to the bathroom, second reception room and kitchen.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and tiled surrounds, whilst the second reception room offers a versatile additional living or dining space and features a staircase rising to the first floor dormer conversion. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wood wall and base units and offers further scope for improvement and redesign.

To the first floor, the landing benefits from useful eaves storage and provides access to two further bedrooms, creating a well-balanced layout suitable for a variety of buyers.

Further improvements include a recently installed gas central heating system with a Baxi combi boiler and new radiators throughout.

Shotley Bridge is a highly sought-after residential area with a charming selection of local shops and amenities, including well-regarded infant and junior schools, together with excellent recreational facilities such as the popular tennis and cricket club. Consett town centre lies approximately 1.5 miles away and offers a wider range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities. The area is also ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors, with picturesque countryside walks and cycle routes nearby, including along the River Derwent and into neighbouring Northumberland. Newcastle and Durham are both within approximately 16 miles, making the area particularly appealing for commuters.

Rarely available with such potential and offered with no onward chain, early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the space, setting and opportunity this home has to offer.
