A rare chance to acquire a very well proportioned first-floor flat within this highly regarded small courtyard development. Set within well-tended gardens and offering ample private parking for residents, The Anchorage boasts a lovely location adjacent to the church and is within walking distance of the town's shops and amenities. Originally designed as a spacious two bedroom apartment, the interior has been remodelled to create one large double bedroom, extending to almost 16ft with fitted bedroom furniture, and a much larger kitchen/breakfast room, which is now open to the generous living area. The layout now includes an entrance hall, a first floor landing with access to boarded loft storage space, a 22-foot living room and dining room, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, a spacious bedroom and a shower room with a large walk-in shower enclosure. There is gas central heating via radiators with a replacement Baxi combination boiler (2023), and uPVC double glazing.

The Anchorage is ideally situated between Chester-le-Street's town centre amenities and the attractive Riverside Park area adjacent to the River Wear and First Class County Cricket ground. It, therefore, lies within walking distance of the town's many shops, leisure facilities, doctors, church and other facilities. The town is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The town's railway station, also within walking distance, is on the main east coast line linking London and Edinburgh, providing rapid access to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.
