Description

12 Holyoake Street is significantly larger than many terraced houses in the village, with a substantial two-storey extension that has greatly enhanced the living space on both the ground and first floors. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the difference this has made to the room sizes throughout. The large kitchen/dining room at the rear is a particular feature of this impressive home, featuring an extensive range of kitchen units, a central island, and integrated cooking appliances. The generous living room is situated at the front, and the stairs lead up to two good size bedrooms and a spacious, recently refitted 12ft bathroom/wc, with a white suite and shower. The property includes gas central heating with a Baxi combination boiler and uPVC double glazing. Available with no onward chain, this attractively priced house would make an excellent first-time buy and an ideal investment, with the impressive room sizes giving it massive appeal when compared to smaller properties.

Holyoake Street is located in a village within only a few minutes' drive of Chester-le-Street town centre. Therefore, a range of shops, schools, and amenities are close at hand, and Chester-le-Street is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Sunderland. The nearby A693 links Beamish, Stanley, and the A1M junction at Chester le Street.
