3 Bedroom house

An excellent chance to acquire a substantial town house in a highly sought-after street in the popular southern end of town. It is one of a limited number of homes in Orchard Terrace which include a large southerly facing garden to the front, which extends to around 90 ft. The property offers outstanding quality and appeal because of the superb character features which include high ceilings, stripped internal doors, hardwood flooring and a multi-fuel stove. The refitted contemporary kitchen includes high gloss units and hardwood worktops and the superb spacious refitted Bathroom features a white suite and shower cubicle. The specification has been upgraded to include gas central heating via radiators with a Baxi combination boiler, a replacement electric consumer unit and uPVC double glazing. The main roof to the house was replaced in 2023 with new insulation added. This is complemented by an excellent standard of interior design and presentation in keeping with the property's age and appeal and in our opinion, the property must be viewed to be appreciated. The accommodation comprises a lobby, hall, lounge with bay window, dining room with a multi-fuel stove in a recessed fireplace, refitted kitchen with high gloss units, three bedrooms, a large refitted bathroom measuring over 10ft, forecourt garden, enclosed, partly covered yard with wood store and a very large mature southerly facing garden to the front. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Orchard Terrace is a very attractive street of bay-windowed town houses situated at the southern end of the town centre. It is within walking distance of the town centre shops, schools, and amenities. Chester-le-Street is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Sunderland. Situated on the main east coast railway line linking London and Edinburgh, the town has good rail access to Durham and Newcastle.
