2 Bedroom bungalow

Full extension, modernisation and redecoration work has just been completed on this two/three-bedroomed terraced bungalow, to prepare it for immediate use by a family or disabled occupants, or as an excellent, ready-to-let investment property. Modernised throughout and in a pristine condition, it has a brand-new, high-quality shower/WC room, new kitchen, new utility room with sink and cupboards (easily convertible to a third bedroom) and fully equipped, new wet room with shower, basin and WC.

The late Victorian bungalow is very solidly built, with well-maintained external brick walls, solid brick internal walls and high ceilings. A new Baxi Combi gas boiler has been fitted. Extensive electrical improvement work has been completed, including a new fuse board, new downlighters and additional electrical sockets.

The internal accommodation comprises:

ENTRANCE HALL, OPEN PLAN LOUNGE, DINING ROOM

The entrance hall has an internal storm door and a new coat rack and opens into the inviting open plan lounge, dining room with its brand-new, wide glazed door to the quiet, private yard area. The door has a special bolt fitted, enabling it to be left ajar securely. A small ramp has been installed, to the yard.

NEW KITCHEN

The brand-new kitchen has a deep one and a half bowl kitchen sink and drainboard. The high mixer tap has an extra touch control and extension hose function, for further ease of use. Shaker style wall and floor kitchen units, with worktops, have been fitted, matching those in the utility room. There is under-cupboard lighting. A new, unused Belling Farmhouse 60DF Dual Fuel Cooker has been installed, with a new cooker hood. Both are included in the sale. There is plumbing for a dishwasher or washing machine. A Siemens dishwasher is included in the sale. The window has a new roller blind. Two small, closable bins, fitting precisely under the worktop, are included in the sale.

TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS

There are two double bedrooms. The larger bedroom has remote control switches for lighting, in addition to wall switches.

NEW UTILITY ROOM/SINGLE BEDROOM

The utility room has a new, deep one and a half bowl kitchen sink and drainboard. The high mixer tap has an extra touch control and extension hose function, for further ease of use. New, Shaker style wall and floor cupboard units, with worktops, have been fitted, matching those in the kitchen. New plumbing for a washing machine has been installed. An Indesit washing machine, a Hoover tumble dryer and an 84 cm chest freezer, all fitting exactly as designed for the space, are included in the sale. The large, opaque glazed window has a roller blind, and three new, large shelves across it, for additional storage. By removing one floor cupboard and undertaking other very minor work, the utility room space could be converted to a single bedroom with an ensuite, a sink and multiple storage cupboards.

NEW ENSUITE SHOWER/WC ROOM

A new, unused shower/WC room, with a grab handle, has been built adjoining the utility room/single bedroom.

NEW WET ROOM

A new wet room has been built, next to the kitchen. A high-quality, unused Mira Realm ERD thermostatic mixer shower has been installed, with a long hose for further ease of use. There is a grab handle. Next to the WC, a high-power hand hose has been installed, for cleaning use. A boiler cupboard houses a new Baxi Combi boiler, and provides good storage space. There is a shaver point. A basin with a mixer tap is on an unused vanity unit, in front of the window, which has new roller blind. Next to this, a tall bathroom storage unit has been modified to fit with the curved wet room base, and is included in the sale.

INSULATED, BOARDED LARGE LOFT

The large, high loft has a ladder from the utility room/single bedroom. It has been fully boarded for storage use, and fully insulated.

YARD

The yard is fully enclosed, providing a quiet, private space for sitting outside. The yard concrete is sealed and painted. The area has good sunshine for pot planting. A sensor light is fitted and property windows provide good lighting also.

TWO BRICK SHEDS

The yard has two well-maintained, internally painted brick sheds, providing substantial storage space.

FRONT PARKING AREA FOR TWO CARS

The fenced, gated front parking area provides off-street parking for two cars, a wall-mounted rotary drier and a sensor light.

THE LOCALITY

George Street occupies a pleasant position in the village centre making access easy to a range of local shops and amenities which are available within the village, with a more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available within Durham City Centre, which lies a short drive away. Esh Winning occupies an attractive semi-rural location but offers easy access to a good local road network making it well placed for commuting purposes.
