Property description
Standing by itself, on an elevated position with views for miles over Bishop Auckland town centre and beyond, stands "Highgrove", a bungalow of high quality with very large gardens, parking and garaging. The plot extends to just under half an acre.
It is warmed by oil fired central heating and has double glazing throughout. The property features well-presented accommodation, that has been thoughtfully laid out to maximise the views and typography of the plot.
The accommodation comprises of a wide entrance hallway with a separate Wc just off it. There is a formal dining room which has a large window to make the most of the views and a feature fireplace - This room could be used as a 4th bedroom if required. The lounge is situated at the back of the property and again features a fireplace and double glass doors which have the views and lead into the garden/sun room which of course is one of the best places to sit in the property. There is a secondary garden room which is set up as a utility room.
Moving through the house, the next room is the kitchen/breakfast room - quite literally the heart of this bungalow as it is situated directly in the middle. It features a good selection of fitted cupboards with integrated appliances such as fridge freezer, microwave, oven and grill, hob with extraction above, dishwasher, washing machine and sink.
The family bathroom is located to the front of the property and features a bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet, sink and fitted store cupboards. The room is fully tiled with coloured tiles.
The three bedrooms complete the layout - the master bedroom has a number of fitted wardrobes as well as double doors that lead to the side garden - a perfect place for a quiet cup of coffee or breakfast when you wake up on a morning.
Outside, the gardens are extensive and feature parking on the gravelled areas, a large section of grass with hedging, a pond, some fruit trees and a section for planting vegetables. There is a raised patio which is perfect for eating outside.
The garage block has a double garage and a side sunroom that has previously been used as a home office - this has heat and air conditioning, telephone and power connections and underneath, there are two store rooms. This has planning permission for conversion to a one bedroom dwelling ancillary to the main property - for full details, please go the Durham Council planning portal and use the reference number DM/23/00042/fpa. Once completed this will have a double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, hallway and a lower ground floor hallway. The garage block also has an Electric car charging point.
Highgrove is a unique opportunity, not to be missed, as such properties are very rare to the market. Not only is its aspect not often found, but plot size, quality and flexibility are uncommon. As such we recommend a viewing as soon as possible to appreciate what is on offer here.
