Located on a rare and generously sized double plot, this charming 3-bedroom detached home has been a loving sanctuary for the past 57 years and is now ready to welcome new owners.

Situated on a secluded plot within walking distance of Woodlands Road, reputable local schools and main bus links, the property offers both privacy and convenience in equal measure. Designed thoughtfully when originally built, the home features a double-skin garage with the potential—subject to planning permission—to add a double-story extension, creating additional bedrooms or a luxurious master suite with an ensuite bathroom.

Accessed via secure gates, the large driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The spacious front porch, bathed in natural light, leads to the welcoming main hallway where you’ll find a convenient downstairs WC. The lounge boasts a large window and glazed doors that flow into the dining room and adjoining conservatory, offering flexible living spaces that can easily be opened up to create one expansive area perfect for entertaining or transformed into cosy, intimate rooms for a more relaxing environment.

The kitchen overlooks the private rear garden and benefits from a separate utility room and connects to the integral garage. The ground floor layout offers incredible potential to be redesigned into a large open-plan kitchen/diner/family room, with further opportunities to extend, subject to planning.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms feature large windows and fitted wardrobes, a single bedroom with a storage cupboard and finally a large shower room. The possibility exists to extend above the garage to create a stunning master suite, again subject to planning.

Externally, the extensive mature garden enhances privacy and convenience, complete with a driveway, garage, and carport. This is a true gem and a rare find—not only for its size but for the exceptional potential and character it offers. Credit must be given to the current owners for their careful maintenance, ensuring the property remains a solid, well-loved home ready to embrace a new chapter.

Shotley Bridge is a sought-after residential area and has a charming range of local shops and amenities including a primary school (infant and junior schools), a fantastic tennis and cricket club. Consett town centre is approximately 1.5 miles away and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and sporting facilities. There are several popular countryside walks and cycle routes, including along the River Derwent and further into neighbouring Northumberland. It is well positioned for access to Newcastle and Durham, both within 16 miles, making it an excellent location from which to commute.

Opportunities to acquire such a substantial plot with so much scope are few and far between—don’t miss your chance to make this exceptional property your own.
