Description
Tucked away from the road in a private and peaceful setting, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached property offers great living space, an abundance of natural light, and a thoughtfully maintained garden.
As you enter the home, you're greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hallway, which leads down into a second hallway providing access to the heart of the home. To the left, you'll find a large open-plan kitchen and breakfast area which is ideal for casual dining and entertaining. The kitchen is flooded with light, thanks to the well-placed windows and airy layout.
Continuing through the hallway, a charming dining room opens out via French doors onto a lovely, raised decking area. This area would be perfect for summer dining or a peaceful morning coffee. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and a generously sized living room featuring a gas fireplace. Sliding doors from the living area lead into a delightful conservatory, offering year-round enjoyment and direct access to the beautifully landscaped garden.
Heading upstairs, the first floor boasts four generously proportioned bedrooms, all decorated in neutral tone. The principal bedroom benefits from its own modern en-suite, while a contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.
Outside, the garden has been maintained to a high standard and features a stunning summer house which would be perfect for a home office, studio, or a pleasant place to relax. To the front, a double driveway and a double garage provide plenty of space for parking and storage.
Bearpark is a friendly village with local amenities, schools, and excellent access to Durham city centre and the surrounding countryside. The peaceful location makes this a perfect home for families or those seeking a quieter lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
This property is a true gem. Bright, spacious, and move-in ready, offering everything you need to make it your new home. Early viewing is advised.
