Description

A beautifully refurbished stone-built three-bedroom terrace, offering stylish turnkey accommodation, a superb south-facing rear garden and excellent off-street parking, with a comprehensive programme of improvements throughout.

Approached through double wrought iron gates, the property immediately makes a striking first impression, with its traditional stone-built frontage and block-paved driveway providing excellent off-street parking. An external composite door with inset glazing and skylight opens into a welcoming entrance hall.

The hallway sets the tone for the quality of the refurbishment, with engineered wood flooring extending through the hall and into the lounge, complemented by a traditional-style column radiator and attractive pendant lighting.

The lounge is a particularly impressive room, offering generous proportions and an abundance of natural light through the new uPVC window. A stylish pendant light and anthracite grey column radiator add contemporary finishing touches, while a glazed internal door leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen provides a superb combination of style and practicality, with ample space for dining and a contemporary navy range of wall and base cabinetry. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, induction hob, extractor hood, fridge freezer and dishwasher, complemented by a stainless steel sink and drainer and tiled splashback. A column radiator and attractive finishes continue the home's cohesive presentation.

An external part-glazed door leads from the kitchen into a useful utility room, positioned within the rear offshoot. The utility benefits from electricity and plumbing for appliances and provides direct access to the rear garden, making it an extremely practical addition to the home.

The rear garden is a real highlight, enjoying a desirable south-facing aspect and excellent levels of sunlight. Currently arranged for low-maintenance enjoyment, the garden provides a generous outdoor space with two storage sheds, both offering potential for adaptation depending on the purchaser's requirements. Side access is also provided.

From the hallway, the staircase rises to the first floor, where freshly laid carpets continue to the spacious landing. The landing is unusually generous and offers useful flexibility, with sufficient space to create a study or homework area if desired. A beautiful balustrade with black wrought iron detailing adds character.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom three is positioned to the rear and benefits from plenty of natural light and ample power points. Bedrooms one and two are both positioned to the front and are similarly well presented, with generous socket provision and attractive fitted lighting.

The family bathroom is finished in a crisp, contemporary style, comprising a white gloss column-style heated towel radiator, pedestal wash hand basin, WC and bath with mains-fed shower over. Tiled splashbacks and an illuminated electric mirror complete the room. A cupboard on in the bathroom houses the gas combination boiler, installed 25/9/21 with a 10 year warranty, and the
last service 2/10/25.

The extent of the refurbishment is a major feature of this property. Works have included a full re-wire with hard-wired smoke and heat alarms, cabling and wiring in situ enables the provision for an EV charger to the front of the property, should the new purchaser wish to have one installed, a full re-plumb with new radiators, new ceilings, full re-plastering, new windows and internal doors, a new fully fitted kitchen, new bathroom, utility plumbing, engineered wood flooring and quality new carpets. The property has been decorated throughout and is presented in excellent condition.

Available with vacant possession and no onward chain, this is an exceptional turnkey opportunity for a first-time buyer, downsizer or anyone simply looking for a beautifully finished home where there is little or nothing left to do. The refurbishment has been undertaken as a genuine passion project, with considerable care and attention to detail evident throughout.

Situated within a pleasant residential setting in Blackhill, the property is well placed for access to local amenities, with Consett town centre approximately one mile away offering supermarkets, shops, leisure facilities, schools and transport links. The surrounding area also provides excellent access to countryside, while Newcastle and Durham are both within commuting distance.

A superbly refurbished home offering quality, style and practicality throughout. **Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the standard of finish and accommodation on offer.
