Property description

An imposing and immaculately presented bungalow, on an elevated and spacious plot, with fine views over the fields.

This property has been constructed to make the very most of its aspect with the front of the property being made up with large windows. The plot itself has the majority of the gardens to the front, and is at the head of the small cul-de-sac which means that there is ample parking - furthermore, should any buyer need to, they could increase this. The property itself has gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

The accommodation is very flexible and could be altered to accommodate more bedrooms if required however is currently arranged as follows:

A wide entrance hall at the end of the garden path, which provides access to the property. It features a large store cupboard for coats. The main living room is situated to the left and features a fireplace in marble, dual aspect windows with the main one obviously to the front. The room also gives access to not only a conservatory/garden room/ office to the front of the property but also stairs rising to the attic where a large storage space is located with a dormer window and two sky lights.

On the other side of the hallway there is a dining room which is a fine place to dine - again having a wall to wall window - as a result this room is very light and airy, as one wall has been taken down, and leads into the breakfasting area. Next up, there is a well laid out kitchen which comprises of a number of wall and base units, in white wood with worktops. The integrated appliances consist of a multi burner gas hob with extraction above and electric oven below, dishwasher and fridge, white sink with mixer tap and drainer.

There is a second conservatory/garden room next to the kitchen which looks over the rear patio and garden. Moving back through the house, the second bedroom is at the rear and accessed via a rear hallway. This room has double doors that lead onto the garden and an ensuite shower room in crisp white. The hallway leads in the other direction to the utility area and in turn the garage which has an electric up and over door.

Accessed off the main hallway is the family bathroom which features a suite in white and attractively presented tiling. The master bedroom completes the layout and features a selection of fitted wardrobes providing ample storage and an ensuite shower room/wc.

Externally the plot features family friendly gardens to the front and rear - made up predominantly with lawned sections. There is a block paved driveway and secondary off street parking section, and the patio at the rear is also block paved.

Ridgeside is a small hamlet, just outside the village of Kirk Merrington - a very desirable place to live. The village boasts a great primary school, a couple of pubs and small local shops. It is not far from Spennymoor, Ferryhill, Bishop Auckland and Shildon where a much larger selection of shops and facilities can be found.

This is a fine property that really must be viewed in person to appreciate the size and quality of the rare opportunity on offer here.
