Property description

Tucked away at the head of a small, private cul de sac, this spacious, individual detached bungalow has an extensive site of around a third of an acre and benefits from good-sized surrounding gardens, a large garage and block paved parking for numerous vehicles. The wonderful outside space is matched by the very generous internal layout, which has been vastly improved by the current owner to create an exceptional family home. The accommodation includes two large reception rooms and three double bedrooms. The main living room is situated at the rear, extending to 19ft, and features bi-fold doors that open to the patio and southerly facing back garden. The living room opens onto the 16ft dining room, which has access to the refitted contemporary kitchen featuring a Rangemaster cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen, the 16ft utility room has matching refitted contemporary units and a laundry area. There are three double size bedrooms and a spacious refitted family bathroom, with a white suite and a shower enclosure. The much improved specification includes gas central heating with a replacement Baxi combination boiler, replacement uPVC double glazing, uPVC roofline and upgraded electrical rewiring. This impressive detached property combines so many appealing features and is a rare find, so early viewing is recommended.

Oaklea is situated on the outskirts of Shiney Row village. The nearby excellent road network allows easy access to Chester le Street, Durham City, Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.
