With an attractive appearance and stunning interior, this superb stone-built house must be seen to be fully appreciated. Homes in this highly regarded location are rarely available. Dovecote Farm features just ten individual, high-calibre properties, situated in a delightful location on a quiet lane which gives access to some of Chester le Street's most attractive countryside and woodland. The property has an appealing mature south-facing enclosed garden, together with a garage and block paved parking for several vehicles. Originally constructed around 1992, the house has been extensively improved and upgraded during recent years, creating a wonderful, spacious family home which combines character with high quality contemporary living space. On the ground floor, the hall includes a refitted cloakroom/wc. The 17ft living room extends the full depth of the house and includes a living flame fire and fireplace. The remodelled kitchen, dining and family rooms provide superb open-plan living space, with French windows opening to the private south-facing garden. The kitchen has been refitted with stylish contemporary units, stone worktops and a good range of integrated appliances. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, a refitted family bathroom and a refitted en suite. The high ceilings and dormer windows create enormous character within this impressive property and the much improved finish including Karndean flooring, replacement oak internal doors and attractive interior design make for a truly impressive property.

This small exclusive cul de sac development of ten individual stone built properties is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Chester-le-Street. It is therefore within easy reach of a wide range of shops, schools and amenities. Chester-le-Street is an ideal commuter base with excellent road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. Situated on Waldridge Lane, Dovecote Farm is a quiet location with easy access to neighbouring Cong Burn Woods and Waldridge Fell Country Park.
