Killhope Grove, Bishop Auckland, Durham, DL14

Occupying one of the most enviable corner plots on Killhope Grove, this four-bedroom detached home pairs a generous garden with a ground floor that gives family life room to spread out. Set within a quiet residential cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Etherley Dene area of Bishop Auckland, the property brings together a breakfast kitchen extending to almost 28 feet, a living room that flows into the dining room, and a substantial second sitting room created from the former double garage. A detached summerhouse opens onto the garden entertaining area, and Ryan James Estate Agents offers the property to the market with no onward chain.

The entrance hall sets the tone with an oak staircase and glazed balustrade, alongside a convenient ground-floor WC. The breakfast kitchen is the natural gathering place, with contemporary grey cabinetry, contrasting worktops and a generous island with an inset gas hob and breakfast seating. Copper-toned pendant lights sit above the island, while a mirrored splashback reflects light across the room. Built-in cooking appliances and a separate laundry room add everyday practicality.

The living room extends to approximately 21 feet and has a contemporary inset fireplace, giving the seating area a natural focal point. An open connection leads into the dining room, where a vaulted ceiling and rooflight draw in daylight. Wide glazed doors open directly onto the patio, making it easy to take meals outside when the weather allows.

Converted from the former double garage, the triple-aspect second sitting room measures approximately 17'0" by 17'9". A wood-burning stove set against a stone-effect feature wall makes it an inviting place to settle in on colder evenings, while a door opens directly onto the garden. The generous proportions leave room for a large sofa arrangement, a home cinema or a dedicated games room.

The oak staircase rises to a landing framed by a glazed balustrade and a textured stone-effect feature wall. From here, oak doors lead to four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom measures approximately 12'4" by 12'10", with room for a large bed and freestanding furniture alongside the fitted wardrobes. Deep teal walls give the room a sense of warmth, while a wide window brings in plenty of natural light. The adjoining en-suite is finished in neutral tiling and includes a glazed shower enclosure, a vanity basin and a WC.

The second double bedroom measures approximately 11'3" by 11'8" and benefits from fitted storage, leaving more floor space for bedroom furniture. The two rear bedrooms measure approximately 9'10" by 8'9" and 9'2" by 8'6", giving you space for children or guests, or the option to set up a dedicated home office.

The family bathroom pairs light tiling with a darker feature wall around the bath. A glazed screen keeps the shower area open to the room, while a wall-hung vanity provides storage beneath the basin. A frosted window lets in daylight while maintaining privacy.

Externally, a double width driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles, with a front lawn and mature tree softening the approach. To the rear, the corner plot comes into its own. Established hedging frames the lawn, and the paved terrace beneath the timber pergola provides a natural spot for outdoor dining. A separate decked area gives you another place to sit or entertain.

The detached timber-clad summerhouse opens onto the patio through glazed double doors. Inside, two connected spaces offer scope for a hobby room, a garden retreat or a workspace away from the main house. The floorplan shows approximately 1,821 sq ft in total, including the summerhouse.

The generous corner plot is what sets this Killhope Grove home apart, and it’s best appreciated in person. Call Ryan James Estate Agents on to book your viewing.
