Description
Located in the highly sought-after hilltop village of Toft Hill, this spacious stone-built bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home offering generous accommodation, extensive recent improvements and truly breathtaking panoramic countryside views to the rear.
The property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently placed for access to Bishop Auckland, Crook and a range of local amenities. What immediately sets this home apart is the outstanding outlook across rolling County Durham countryside, a view that can be enjoyed from both the property itself and the impressive conservatory.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,067 sq. ft. and has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded by the current owners. Recent improvements include comprehensive repointing of the stonework, replacement windows and doors, and the installation of a new boiler, providing peace of mind for the next owner while enhancing both efficiency and kerb appeal.
Internally, a welcoming central hallway provides access to the principal rooms. The living room is a generously proportioned reception space, offering a comfortable setting for everyday living whilst enjoying an abundance of natural light. To the rear, the substantial conservatory provides a wonderful additional reception area and is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home. Framed by extensive glazing, it offers uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside and creates the perfect space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the changing seasons.
The kitchen is well-proportioned and offers ample worktop and storage space, together with room for dining, creating a practical and sociable environment at the heart of the home.
There are two exceptionally generous double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions rarely found within modern homes. Each room provides ample space for a full range of bedroom furniture whilst retaining a bright and airy feel.
The four-piece family bathroom has been tastefully updated and features a stylish four-piece suite incorporating a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC, finished in a contemporary style that complements the overall presentation of the property.
Externally, the home continues to impress. The South facing garden has been thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, offering a variety of seating areas, mature planting and established borders that create an attractive and private outdoor environment. The rear garden in particular provides a wonderful vantage point from which to enjoy the far-reaching countryside views beyond. Further enhancing practicality, the property benefits from designated off-street parking, providing convenient and secure parking for residents and visitors alike. Together, the outdoor space and parking provision create a lifestyle offering that is both enjoyable and highly functional.
Properties of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to find; a spacious stone-built bungalow, occupying a desirable village setting, enhanced by significant recent investment and enjoying some of the finest countryside views available locally.
A home that combines space, character, practicality and scenery in equal measure.
