Description

A traditional, bay windowed, semi-detached house that has been extended and improved, located on Newlands Avenue - Bishop Auckland's tree lined street, situated a stone's throw from the General hospital and town centre.

The accommodation comprises of a wide and bright entrance hallway with stairs rising to first floor, with panelling to the walls and Karn dean flooring throughout. The living room is located to the front of the house and features the bay window and a fireplace. To the rear is the living room which also features a fireplace and door leading to the back garden. The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and is attractively presented in black with white with Silestone worktops. There is a good selection of the floor and wall mounted units for storage, with some integrated appliances as well as space for free standing ones. Next is a snug room which features fitted storage and double doors that open onto the patio. The garage has been split to now offer a storage space to the front, however the back is now a fantastic "Bootility" - a mix of a boot room and utility. Here, the space has been cleverly thought out and now offers a wine rack, more storage, space for washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a Belfast style sink.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms - most featuring fitted wardrobes and storage. The master bedroom enjoys the bay window feature which provides a lot of natural light. The house bathroom completes the layout and this room features an oval, roll top bath, separate shower cubicle and sink.
The loft has been altered and insulated and now offers a useful storage/work space and this is accessed via a pull down ladder.

Externally the house features a lawned garden to the front with double gates that provide and off street parking spot for a small car. The rear garden is family friendly and set up with ease of maintenance in mind with both paved areas for entertaining and dining in warmer weather and artificial grass for playing with children/pets.
