A well-presented three-bedroomed semi-detached house with an attractive, secluded garden and a separate garden room to the rear, situated at the end of a cul-de-sac within this small estate off Benfieldside Road in Shotley Bridge.
The house has been improved and modernised by the current owners, who had a new central heating system and a bathroom fitted in 2011, refurbished the ground floor in 2012 - including the garage conversion to the rear - and had new windows fitted to the front and side in 2016, as well as having the fascias and guttering replaced at the front of the house. The accommodation comprises:
entrance lobby, living room with glazed-panelled oak doors to the dining room, fitted kitchen, first floor landing with hatch to boarded loft, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a contemporary bathroom. The former garage has been converted and extended to provide a utility area at the front and a versatile, fully insulated garden room to the rear, with a W.C. The rear garden is enclosed and not overlooked from behind, with a block-paved patio area and a well-maintained lawn. There is also a wooden shed attached to the rear of the garden room. There is a lawned front garden and a driveway to the front that extends along the side of the house.
Benfield Close is a small cul-de-sac estate of similar properties situated just off Benfieldside Road and within half a mile of Shotley Bridge village and its facilities, with Blackhill approximately 0.8 miles distant and Consett town centre 2 miles away. Shotley & Benfieldside Tennis Club is located at the rear of Benfield Close while the Derwent Country Walk is also nearby. The regional centres of Durham and Newcastle are both within 14 miles.
