School Close, Bishop Auckland DL13 3 bed detached house for sale

This stunning 3-bedroom detached property presents a rare opportunity in the market, boasting a full renovation and set in a serene location with no onward chain. The property features a high specification bespoke kitchen, was fully rewired and largely replumbed in 2018, and benefits from solar panels on the south-facing side of the garage roof that generate FIT payments. All 3 bedrooms are located on the ground floor, making single level living very possible for those that desire it, whilst there’s a further large open plan living area and additional bathroom to the first floor, catering for multiple generations if required.

A unique highlight of this home is the two-storey double garage, including an elevator from the double parking bay on the upper floor (road level) down to the workshop on the lower floor, providing convenient access from road level to the garden. Parking is available on the driveway and in the garage. Additionally, a workshop and garden utility room add practicality to this dream property, all set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Outside, the property offers an enchanting setting with a stepped walkway leading from the driveway at road level down to the wrap-around garden embracing all sides of the house. This inviting outdoor space features various seating areas that cater to every moment of the day, whether basking in the sun or seeking shade. Lush lawned areas blend seamlessly with planted borders, raised beds, and patio spaces, while the presence of fruit trees and soft fruit add to the charm of the landscape. A well-maintained Hartley Botanic Greenhouse stands as a testament to the care put into the garden, which is fully fenced for privacy and security. A unique feature of the outdoor space is the riverside seating area, accessed via stone steps, offering a tranquil spot by the water's edge. Completing the picture is the meticulously designed two-storey double garage, built with composite doors and a lower floor split into three sections, each with its own purpose and access, including a utility room and workshop with power and lighting. This property truly exemplifies the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and natural beauty.
