Property description

STAMP DUTY PAID BY OWNER. A spacious and well presented stone-built house with four bedrooms across three levels, an integral garage, tiered garden and an elevated position affording pleasant views over Muggleswick Common.

Situated in the semi-rural village of Castleside, just off the A68, and built on the site of a former chapel, the house has double glazing and gas central heating, as well as a multi-fuel stove, and offers versatile accommodation comprising, on the main floor, accessed via stone steps: hall, large living room with bay window and multi-fuel stove, double doors to well appointed kitchen / dining room with central breakfast bar, study / office, a double bedroom and a bathroom. Up a small flight of stairs from the hall there are two more double bedrooms and an impressive tiled wet room off the landing, while down some stairs the ground floor lobby leads to a fourth double bedroom and the integral garage. There is an elevated flagged terrace to the front of the house and a block-paved double driveway, while to the rear is a large flagged patio with steps up to another patio area and with a tiered garden with lawned areas and well-stocked flower beds.

Old Chapel is situated on Church Street on the corner of Watergate Road in Castleside, which has a local primary school and three pubs. It is approximately 2 miles from Consett town centre and its facilities and shops, including the expanding retail park at Puddlers Corner that has a 24-hour Tesco Extra store. The nearby A68 provides a major link to the north and south while the A691 and A692 highways allow access to the regional centres of Durham and Newcastle, which are both approximately 15 miles away.
