**Vacant Possession & No Forward Chain** Extended detached family with wrap around gardens, four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a double driveway situated in the popular village of Pity Me, close to schools, shops and other amenities.

Positioned at the head of the estate with corner plot gardens, the property offers flexible accommodation, but requires some modernisation. Accessed from the front into the hallway with a storage cupboard and a downstairs W/C, the property briefly comprises an open plan lounge and dining room, a fitted kitchen with built-in cooking appliances, a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, an additional reception room/bedroom converted from the garage, an en-suite shower room, and a utility. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower and a screen over the bath. To the front is an open lawned garden with mature conifers. The adjacent block paved driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and access to the property. The side and rear gardens are enclosed by a fenced and walled boundary, predominantly laid to lawn with a couple of patios and planted areas. In addition, the property is gas centrally heated, double-glazed, and has solar PV (rented).

Mere Drive is a modern residential development that has, over the years, proved to be popular in demand. It is situated close to the Arnison Retail Park and approximately 3 miles from Durham City Centre, where there is a more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available. It is also situated close to Framwellgate Moor Comprehensive School and is well placed for commuting purposes, being within a few minutes' drive of the A167 Highway, which provides good road links to both North and South.
