Property description
An immaculately well-presented and extended three-bedroomed 1930s-built semi-detached family home with a good-sized garden, two reception rooms with bay windows and contemporary kitchen and bathroom, situated close to schools and facilities within the popular village of Shotley Bridge.
This impressive house has been tastefully and sympathetically improved by the current owners, who have retained and restored several period features, including stained glass windows and traditional fireplaces. With gas central heating via combi. boiler, the accommodation comprises: entrance lobby, hall, open-plan living and dining rooms, kitchen fitted with wooden units, first floor landing, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a well-appointed contemporary bathroom. There is a good-sized and well-maintained lawned rear garden, a children's playhouse and a shed, and a block-paved patio area with steps down from the rear French doors. There is a lawned garden and a block-paved drive to the front.
The Briary is situated just off Benfieldside Road and is within easy reach of Shotley Bridge village and its range of local shops and amenities. The house is within easy reach of two well-renowned schools, including Shotley Bridge Infants School - rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted in 2015. It is also well positioned for access to Blackhill and further to Consett town centre approximately two miles distant. Newcastle and Durham are both within 15 miles - via the A694 and A691 highways - making it an excellent location from which to commute.
