Situated in the highly regarded Parkfield area of Garden Farm estate, this five-bedroom detached house offers exceptional living space, and the secluded cul de sac position and large gardens make it an ideal forever home for family buyers. It occupies a lovely position, overlooking the attractive Hermitage Estate grounds to the front. The house has undergone extensive renovation and improvement, and a stunning extension has created a superb 20ft kitchen/dining room to the rear, with a glass lantern roof and full-width folding doors to the garden bringing in lots of natural light. The room sizes are very impressive throughout and must be seen to be fully appreciated. The central lobby opens to the entrance hall with a cloakroom/wc. The living room at the front opens to the former dining room, now utilised as an additional sitting/family room, with double doors opening to the back garden. The kitchen and dining room include contemporary high gloss units, a central island, marble work surfaces, and a host of integrated appliances. The large 10ft utility room and 15ft double garage are accessed from the kitchen. The spacious first floor is equally impressive. There are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and the fifth bedroom, with its pleasant open aspect, is an ideal home office. The main bedroom includes a modern refitted en suite shower room/wc and the stylish refitted family bathroom features a free-standing oval bath and a large shower enclosure. To the front, the double-width resin drive provides off-street parking and creates an attractive appearance. The double garage includes a remote-controlled roller door and an electric car charging point. The improved specification includes gas central heating with a recent replacement Worcester combination boiler, underfloor heating to the extensive kitchen/dining room, solar energy, uPVC double glazing, and oak internal doors. Homes in this much sought-after location are rarely available and early viewing is strongly recommended.
Carrowmore Road is situated in Parkside, a particularly popular part of the Garden Farm estate with an attractive outlook over the Hermitage grounds. Garden Farm has local shops but it is also well placed for easy access to Chester-le-Street town centre where a wider range of shops, schools, and amenities are situated. Chester-le-Street is an ideal commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Sunderland. Situated on the main east coast railway line linking London and Edinburgh, the town has a good rail service with quick access to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
