61A, St Barnabas, Bournmoor, Houghton le Spring

The already spacious layout of this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow has been greatly enhanced with extensions and alterations, including extending and converting the former garage and creating a rear office with a staircase leading to a 19ft attic room above. These three additional rooms offer plenty of space and can be adapted to a variety of potential uses. The layout also includes a central hall, living room with fireplace, refitted contemporary kitchen with white high gloss units and integrated cooking appliances, two double bedrooms, (one of which features double doors to the back garden and is currently used as an additional living room), and a shower room/wc. The front garden includes a double-width parking area, whilst the back garden enjoys an open aspect over woodland. The specification includes gas central heating via radiators with a recently (2022) refitted combination boiler and uPVC double glazing. This is an ideal property for those looking for a good-sized bungalow in an appealing village location.

St Barnabas is a popular residential estate on the outskirts of Bournmoor Village. It lies only a few minutes' drive from the A1(M) interchange in Chester le Street. An excellent road network allows easy access to Durham City, Sunderland, Gateshead, and Newcastle upon Tyne.
