Property description
A three-bedroomed semi-detached house situated on a good-sized plot (approx. 460 sqm) on the level edge of this popular village and available with no onward chain.
Requiring some modernisation, the house has UPVC double glazing and gas central heating with accommodation comprising: hall, living room with doors to dining room, kitchen, utility room, first floor landing, three bedrooms, bathroom and separate W.C. There is a single garage served by a large block-paved driveway (which provides parking for two cars) and there are lawned gardens to the front and rear.
Kitswell Road is situated just off the Front Street in the village of Lanchester - a traditional village set in the valley of the River Browney, surrounded by countryside and regarded as a sought-after location. It is well placed for access to the historic city of Durham (8 miles) and Consett (5 miles) via the A691, and to Newcastle / Gateshead and Teesside, with good transport (bus) links from the village.
Lanchester has well renowned schools (C. of E. and Catholic) and a wide range of amenities including doctors, dentist, optician, churches, library, shops, pubs and restaurants, a community centre with a gym and various sports clubs (cricket, tennis and bowling). For equestrianists, there are livery facilities within 500 metres of the house and there is a horse-riding stable on the outskirts of the village. Kitswell Park is opposite the house and has a children's play park, bike track, zip wire and football and cricket pitches. There are lots of activities, groups and clubs available for the young, old and anyone keen to get involved in village life.
The house provides views of the open countryside to the front and overlooks the large garden to the rear. It is a five-minute walk along the level road to the village and schools. Access to the Lanchester Valley Walk is approximately 200 metres from the house, which is part of an extensive network of Railway Paths ideal for walking, dog-walking, running, cycling and horse-riding. It is part of National Cycle Route 14, and the old Roman Road, Dere Street, crosses the path approximately 500 metres from the house.
