GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT / LARGER THAN AVERAGE - We welcome to the market this amazingly presented 2 bedroom apartment tucked away on the outskirts of Kimblesworth. The Firs consists of a number of larger than average apartments and we feel this apartment has the best location with being at the furthest end of the estate as there is no through vehicle or human traffic. 

The apartment offers ample space with a 20ft lounge that fills with natural light thanks to the large bay window to the front and additional side window. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the use of space and we have been advised it has been fitted with a new washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and combination boiler approximately 3 years ago. Both bedrooms are fitted with LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) flooring and have the potential to accommodate for double beds, while the master bedroom  benefits from fitted wardrobes, units and TV mounting. The bathroom has been thoughtfully and stylishly modernised with 'P' shaped bath, rainfall style shower and LED mirror.

To the exterior is an allocated parking space to the front and access to an open communal garden at the rear.

Kimblesworth is a small village just off the A167 nestled between Chester-le-Street and Durham City, each are a '10 minute' commute away, making the property ideal for commuters but also offers ample space for the ablility to work from home.

THIS IS A LEASEHOLD PROPERTY. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THERE ARE APPROX. 106 YEARS REMAINING. GROUND RENT IS £150 PA PAYABLE EVERY JANUARY, SERVICE CHARGES ARE £1038.20 PA, WHICH CAN BE PAYABLE OVER 12 MONTHS.

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
