Building Plot.
Planning Reference: Ref. No: DM/22/00517/FPA
With large plots and far-reaching elevated views to the rear, this plot forms part of a new development of three spacious detached houses, offering an exciting opportunity to create a spacious, high-calibre family home. It lies within walking of local amenities and the village provides immediate access to Durham City and Chester le Street. The designs and layouts of the approved plans are outstanding, boasting four double bedrooms and good-sized bathrooms, and the stunning open plan kitchen and dining room spans the full width of the house and extends to almost 27ft. A central entrance hall features a good-sized cloakroom/wc and leads to the living room with a large bay window. The hall also provides access to the 16ft integral garage. To the rear, the kitchen/dining room offers lots of natural light, with large windows, double-glazed French windows to the back garden, and three skylight windows set within a vaulted ceiling. A separate utility room is situated adjacent to the kitchen. On the first floor, there are four double-sized bedrooms, a sizeable family bathroom and an en suite shower room. The plots are particularly noteworthy, boasting outstanding outdoor living space and open aspects to the rear.
Plots 2 & 3 are currently under construction.
For interested parties, viewing is now available on plot 3 via J W Wood.
This new development at Church Street is within walking distance of the village centre, where there are shops, schools, and good road routes for commuting throughout the region, particularly to nearby Chester le Street and Durham City centres.

Both the guide price and the reserve price can change up to and including the auction day. The successful buyer pays a £2,000+vat (total £2,400) Auction Administration Fee. We can refer you to a North East based Solicitor from our panel at your request. It is your decision whether you choose to deal with them.
