11, Park House Road, Merryoaks, Durham

Vacant Possession & No Forward Chain

A deceptively spacious and thoughtfully extended semi-detached property, ideally situated in the highly regarded Merryoaks area of Durham. Offering flexible accommodation across two floors, the property benefits from a substantial two-storey side extension, gardens to three sides, a detached garage and rear driveway.

The property was originally designed as a two-bedroom home but has been significantly enhanced by the extension, creating versatile living accommodation that will appeal to a wide range of purchasers.

The accommodation is accessed via a welcoming front porch leading into the entrance hallway. The ground floor comprises a comfortable lounge, an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, a convenient downstairs WC, and an additional room within the extension, currently suitable for use as a bedroom, home office, playroom or further reception space.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a useful dressing area. A family bathroom and separate shower room complete the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property occupies an attractive corner plot with gardens extending to the front, side and rear. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, providing a good degree of outdoor space and flexibility. To the rear is a driveway providing off-road parking, together with a detached garage.

Park House Road is a popular residential setting, conveniently located adjacent to a local park, playground and community centre, which offers a range of amenities and exercise classes. Merryoaks itself is well established and enjoys a convenient position on the outskirts of Durham City, with the city centre offering an extensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.

The property is also ideally positioned for access to the A167, providing excellent road links both north and south. A number of well-regarded schools are within easy reach, including Durham Johnston School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Durham High School, and highly regarded primary schools such as St Margaret's and Neville's Cross.

With its generous accommodation, substantial extension, corner plot, extensive gardens, garage and convenient location, this is a versatile family home offering considerable potential for a variety of purchasers.
