5, St Charles Road, Tudhoe, Durham

Rarely does an opportunity arise to purchase such an impressive, extended three-bedroom detached bungalow. Thoughtfully improved by the current owners, the property beautifully blends character features—including stained-glass top lights, an Art Deco-style inner front door, picture rails and parquet flooring—with modern benefits such as solar panels and battery storage.

The well-planned accommodation briefly comprises an entrance lobby and hallway, a spacious lounge with bay window, parquet flooring and a feature fireplace with inset gas fire, and a superb conservatory enjoying views over the rear garden. The conservatory features windows to all sides, intelligent double glazing and French doors opening directly onto the garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of wall and base units and includes an inset double-bowl sink, space for a gas range cooker with extractor over, space for a freestanding fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher.

The principal bedroom features a bay window and leads through to the extended section, which offers a generous dressing room and a purpose-designed accessible en-suite shower room with walk-in shower (low-profile tray and seat), mains-fed shower with rainfall head, wash basin and WC. This area continues through to a utility room with fitted units, sink, and space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Subject to requirements, this versatile section could be adapted for alternative uses, including the potential for a self-contained annex.

There are two further bedrooms (one front-facing and one to the rear) and a family bathroom comprising WC, wash basin and bath with electric shower over.

Set on a generous plot, the property enjoys mature gardens to the front, side and rear. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders, shrubs and trees, along with a patio seating area. The driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a garage with up-and-over door, plus light and power.

The property occupies a quiet position within a few minutes drive of Spennymoor Town Centre where there is a good range of everyday facilities and amenities available. It is also well placed for access to more comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities and amenities which are available within Durham City and Bishop Auckland. It is also well placed for commuting purposes being within a few minutes drive of the A(167) Highway which provides good road links to both North and South.
