Property Description

Beautifully Presented - Semi-Detached Bungalow with Driveway for 2 Cars - Sought-After Cul-de-Sac Location – Renovated & Redecorated – Enclosed Rear Garden

Occupying a pleasant cul-de-sac position within the popular semi-rural village of Burnhope, this semi-detached bungalow offers excellent potential for buyers looking to create a comfortable single-level home.

The property benefits from gas central heating, multi-fuel burning stove and double glazing throughout and is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway, leading to a spacious lounge, kitchen diner, bathroom, and two well-proportioned bedrooms. The largest bedroom has a dressing room/ home office and could be used as a nursery or additional bedroom with the erection of a dividing corridor.

Externally, the property enjoys gardens to both the front and rear, along with a driveway providing off-street parking.

This beautifully presented and extensively renovated three-bedroom bungalow offers modern living in a peaceful semi-rural setting, making it an ideal home for a range of buyers.

The home was thoughtfully reconfigured in 2018 to create a spacious and more practical layout. During this time, it also underwent a comprehensive programme of works including a full rewire, replumb, and replaster, ensuring a high standard throughout. A log burner was installed to provide a cosy focal point to the living space, while new patio doors were added to both the kitchen and one of the bedrooms, allowing for plenty of natural light and direct access to the garden.

Further improvements include a stylish new kitchen fitted in 2022, complete with a plinth heater, and a contemporary bathroom installed in 2023. The property also benefits from a new boiler and radiators (2023), new carpets throughout (2026), and redecoration carried out between 2025 and 2026, meaning it is ready to move straight into.

Externally, the property boasts a fully enclosed rear garden with 6ft fencing, offering privacy and security. To the front, the garden has been converted into off-road parking for up to two vehicles. Some front windows have also been replaced.

The location is particularly convenient, with excellent local amenities and transport links. There are direct bus routes to Newcastle and the Metrocentre, while everyday essentials are within easy reach, including a doctor’s surgery and local shop just a minute away. Burnhope Primary School and a community centre with gym facilities are both within a five-minute walk, and the property falls within the catchment area for well-regarded secondary schools. A local pub is approximately a ten-minute walk away.

Nearby towns include Lanchester, just a two-minute drive or ten minutes by bus, and Stanley, which offers a wider range of supermarkets, shops, and transport links across the North East, reachable within ten minutes by car or fifteen minutes by bus. The property also provides easy access to Durham, Newcastle, and the A1, making it ideal for commuters.

Situated within a quiet neighbourhood predominantly made up of bungalows and a mature community, this home offers a tranquil environment while still being well-connected.

Burnhope is a well-regarded semi-rural village offering local amenities, with a wider range of shopping, leisure, and recreational facilities available in nearby Stanley and Durham City.
