3 Bedroom house

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and substantially extended terrace home, enjoying an enviable combination of privacy, generous outdoor space and convenient village living. Tucked away in a secluded position yet just a short stroll from the heart of Lanchester, this impressive three-storey property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, gated off-street parking for two vehicles and a generous garden — an exceptional combination rarely found so close to the village centre.

Thoughtfully modernised and improved by the current owners, the property offers an attractive, move-in-ready home with a wealth of character and contemporary touches throughout. The combination of its secluded setting, substantial accommodation and proximity to local amenities makes this an appealing proposition for a wide range of buyers.

A block-paved driveway to the front provides off-street parking for two vehicles, with gated access adding a valuable degree of privacy and security. Beyond the driveway lies a generous garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by a fenced boundary, together with a patio area providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

On entering the property, a welcoming hallway sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, with neutral décor creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere.

The lounge is a comfortable and naturally light reception room, featuring useful storage beneath the stairs and a window overlooking the garden.

To the rear is a particularly impressive open-plan dining kitchen, creating a superb social and entertaining space. The generous dining area benefits from an attractive exposed stone feature wall, while double doors provide access to the rear yard and garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, complemented by a range-style cooker and extractor hood. A vaulted ceiling and Velux-style roof windows flood the space with natural light while creating an impressive sense of volume and openness. A downstairs WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom fitted with a white suite.

The converted loft floor provides a superb principal bedroom suite, offering excellent proportions and a good degree of privacy. The bedroom is complemented by its own en-suite shower room, making this an ideal retreat away from the main living accommodation.

Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing, adding to the comfort and practicality of the home.

Lanchester is widely regarded as one of County Durham’s most desirable villages and offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities, all within easy reach.

The village also provides convenient access to Consett, Durham and the surrounding areas, with a range of shopping, leisure and transport links available nearby. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers a wealth of scenic walking routes, while the village centre is close enough to enjoy its amenities without compromising the property's peaceful and private setting.
