Property description
Situated on a large plot on the highly desirable Queens Road in Shotley Bridge, a spacious and much improved detached dormer bungalow ideally suited to families.
Built in 1909, \"Briarsyde\" offers charm and character, retaining many original features such as traditional fireplaces, high ceilings with cornice work, original stained glasswork and internal doors. The property has the benefit of a modern central heating system and recently installed insulation to the first floor. The accommodation briefly comprises, on the ground floor: entrance lobby with original stained glass door leading to hallway, lounge with bay window and multi-fuel stove, a sun lounge, a dining room with traditional fireplace and bay window, a large open plan kitchen/family room, a rear porch, cloakroom/w.c.; a bathroom and master bedroom complete the ground floor. To the first floor there is a spacious landing (which could be converted to a fourth bedroom subject to local authority building regulation approval) and two further bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. Externally the property has extensive formal lawned gardens with mature trees, patio areas, a driveway leading to a hardstanding area and a single prefabricated garage.
Queens Road runs from Durham Road, Blackhill into Woodlands Road, next to Shotley Bridge hospital. The property is within half a mile of the local shops and facilities in Blackhill and within a mile of Shotley Bridge village and its restaurants and boutiques. Consett town centre is less than a mile-and-a-half away. The regional centres of Durham and Newcastle are both around 14 miles distant, and the popular Derwent Country Walk is just a few hundred yards' walk from the front door.
