Property description & features

  • Additional Parking & Out Buildings
  • Stable/Workshop
A delightful bungalow situated in arguably one of the best residential locations in this historic city with the charm of a period property whist being within walking distance of the city itself and the nearby train station and North Durham Hospital on your doorstep.

Whilst providing the abundance of living space on the ground floor the bungalow also provides 2 bedrooms in the loft space but with a floor area of over 2780 sq ft of GIA still provides a substantial residence. A private drive, providing an abundance of parking, provides access to this attractive property and to the integral single garage. The driveway dissects the mature gardens to the front elevation but takes nothing away from the large lawned front garden area and mature boarders.

An entrance hallway to the front provides access to the substantial ground floor living space which provides 1 formal rooms and kitchen to the front elevation together with 3 bedrooms, family bathroom, study and utility to the rear with a garden room and conservatory enjoying the delightful aspect to the rear south west facing gardens with French doors providing access. Bedrooms 4 and 5 together with addition storage are accessed off stairs from the kitchen.

The gardens have matured over the years and provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion with large mature hedges to the boundary. The rear gardens have been mainly set to lawn and are of a good size with a southwestern aspect meaning they enjoy a great deal of sunshine.

Whitesmocks has always proved to be a popular residential location, not only because of its closeness to the city but also as a result of being close to both St Leonards RC school and Durham Johnston, both of which are extremely well respected. This exclusive development has matured over the years and thus provides a high degree of privacy from the neighbouring properties due to the maturity of the gardens, hedges, and trees to borders. All this and still within close proximity to good communication road link, (A167), as well as County Hall, the Land Registry, the university hospital and the main line east coast rail station all within walking distance.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
