Property description
Situated on the front of this most desirable development, 5 Dene hall Drive, is an ideal family home. It has been owned by our clients for 30 years, and during their occupation, they have improved and extended it so it now offers accommodation on three floors. A loft conversion has been created to add an office area and an additional bedroom, yet there is still a good sized store for luggage, Christmas trees and toys etc! On the ground floor there are two reception rooms as well as a good sized kitchen and an uncommonly generous utility room at the rear of the house - This room has a large number of potential uses. The house has had a new combi boiler fitted in 2021.
The accommodation is laid out in a traditional manner and consists of a porch leading to a wide hallway, a living room is located to the left hand side which features windows overlooking the front and back gardens as well as an open fire. There is a second reception room / dining room which features patio doors leading to the garden, a kitchen with a good number of units with worktops and integrated appliances, a Cloakroom/wc and the utility room is at the back. The integral garage completes the layout on the ground floor.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms - two of which feature fitted wardrobes. The master, like the living room below it, is dual aspect and is flooded with light. The family bathroom completes the layout on this floor and again is spaciously laid out featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, sink and toilet.
On the second floor, there is another bedroom - currently used as a workshop, an office area and the "Attic" where there is ample storage. This could make an ideal "Annex" for a teenager. Our clients advise that there is pipework very close by that would make the addition of another shower room a relatively simple task.
Externally there is off street parking on the block paved driveway for multiple cars and the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, both front and back.
Dene Hall Drive is well known in Bishop Auckland town for its white rendered walls. It is well placed being a short walk from the nearby secondary schools as well as the town centre.
