Long Acres, Durham, DH1

Ideally situated within easy walking distance of Durham City centre, this beautifully presented and thoughtfully improved three-bedroom semi-detached home offers stylish, well-proportioned accommodation perfectly suited to modern family living. The property further benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

Upon entering, a welcoming hallway provides access to the principal accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor. The lounge, positioned to the front of the property, features an attractive bay window and a characterful wood-burning stove (which may not remain), creating a warm and inviting reception space. To the rear, the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, offering an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a contemporary range of wall and base units, complemented by a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, electric hob, separate electric oven, plumbing and space for a washing machine, and space for a freestanding fridge freezer. A side door provides convenient access to the shared driveway.

To the first floor, the landing is enhanced by a side-facing window and leads to three bedrooms, together with a refitted family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a wash hand basin set above useful storage drawers, a low-level WC, and a panelled bath with mains-fed Mira shower over.

Outside, the property enjoys attractive gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden is immaculately maintained, mainly laid to lawn and beautifully complemented by a variety of flowering shrubs and well-stocked borders. A further divided section leads to a secluded patio garden, providing an excellent space for outdoor seating, relaxation and entertaining. To the side of the property, a shared driveway gives access to a garage with an up-and-over door.

Long Acres has for many years proved to be a popular location close to a range of local shops and amenities available within Gilesgate, with a more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities available within Durham City Centre which lies approximately 1 mile distant.
