Roman Avenue, Chester Le Street, DH3

HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER LOCATION / TO BE SOLD WITH NO UPPER CHAIN - This 'rare to the market' 1930's style semi-detached located on the desirable Roman Avenue is an opportunity not to be missed. Located directly opposite the popular Park View School, the house is perfectly positioned for the best of ALL worlds with being a short walk from all the amenities and excellent transport links Chester-le-Street Town Centre aswell as the prestigious Lumley Castle, Riverside Park and Durham County Cricket Ground. Excellent transport links to and from Chester-le-Street, as the A167 is ideally placed with a straight drive down to the A167 for commuters.

Although in need of some cosmetic work, the property's charm and potential really shines through. A range of period features are to the hallway, original wood flooring and a traditional picture rail offer a traditional 1930's style. Offering 2 grand and spacious reception rooms both boasting huge bay windows looking out onto the well-presented front and rear gardens, the ground floor also offers an extended galley style kitchen and WC. The 2 main bedrooms to the first floor also boast large bay windows as well as fitted wardrobes and storage units, along with a third bedroom and spacious bathroom with built-in storage. The first floor landing also offers access to a converted loft space with a large rear-facing Velux skylight, via a hatchway with a drop down ladder. The attic was used as a bedroom many years ago and provides an excellent area should the property be extended to the attic area as neighbouring properties have in place.

The gardens to the front and rear have been well-maintained while the rear garden itself has the additional benefits of being south-facing along with a large patio area and is home to a potting shed. The garage was extended and now reverts to the original size, however the hard standing for the extension is still in place should you wish to re-erect the extension or create an entertaining space or workshop.

The driveway spans the full depth of the house allowing for multi-vehicle parking and leads to a detached garage which has benefitted from a new roof in recent years. We have also been advised the main roof to the house is approximately 30 years old and appears to have also benefitted from a new fuse box.

To be sold with no onward chain, we anticipate high interest for this property due to it's stunning as well as practical surroundings, charm, character and potential.
