A truly unique bungalow which would make the perfect forever home, ideally suited to buyers looking to downsize without compromising on room sizes, plot, and exceptional quality. Hardly recognisable from its original design and layout, this bungalow has been transformed with large extensions, remodelling and outstanding high-calibre upgrades. The cul de sac plot provides exceptionally large, well-kept gardens whilst the hugely impressive interior now boasts a stylish and contemporary theme, focussing on space, quality and lots of natural light. Without doubt, the main feature of the bungalow is the stunning kitchen/dining room to the rear. This fantastic open-plan living area has been created to include two glass roof lanterns and folding doors which open to combine internal and external space. Extending to around 20 feet, this superb room is ideal for entertaining and includes a refitted kitchen featuring a central island and integrated appliances, opening to the dining and family areas. The accommodation also includes a porch, hall with Velux window, newly fitted cloakroom/wc, 17ft living room with bay window, two double size bedrooms, including double doors from the main bedroom to the rear patio area, and a refitted shower room/wc. A fixed staircase has been created to access the large boarded loft area, offering scope for further development if required. The former garage now provides accessible storage and access from the front to the rear. There is block paved parking to the front and a very large garden to the rear. The extensions and renovations in 2019/2020 included the installation of a replacement Baxi combination boiler, uPVC double glazing and electrical rewiring, together with numerous other improvements.
Garden Farm is a sought-after and established development lying a short distance to the west of the town centre. It is easily accessible to the town where many shops, schools and amenities are available. Chester-le-Street is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The town's railway station is on the east coast line linking London and Edinburgh.

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.
