A substantial stone-built detached house with a garage and gardens in the popular Waldridge residential area. The original 19th Century farmhouse has been greatly extended and extensively refurbished, providing spacious five Bedroom accommodation over three floors. This is a rare opportunity to acquire such a large house which combines the charm and character of a period residence with modern comforts. The house occupies an elevated position with far-reaching views from the upper floors. Double gates access the front garden and block paved courtyard which provides access to the garage and ample parking. Internally the property has been extensively renovated and refurbished and includes gas central heating via radiators with a combination boiler and double glazing. The room sizes are hugely impressive, making this a wonderful family home, not only because of its superb internal and external living space, but also its attractive cul de sac position and its proximity to local schools, recreational facilities and other amenities. To the ground floor, there is an entrance hall and refitted cloakroom/wc. The hallway leads to a very appealing refitted farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with cream-coloured units, marble worktops and integrated appliances. The sitting room overlooks the back gardens and features an attractive fireplace and an open staircase to the first floor. A superb Garden room has been added to the rear featuring a high vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and exposed beams, together with folding doors opening to the private back gardens. The lounge is situated to the rear and includes a wood-burning stove. Folding doors open to the formal dining room extending to almost 16ft. A utility room is accessed from the sitting room and this in turn leads to the large 17ft garage. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, with the guest bedroom including an extensive range of quality fitted bedroom furniture. There is also a superb refitted large luxury bathroom extending to 16ft and including a white suite featuring a bath with central taps, double vanity wash basin, large walk in shower enclosure, fitted storage units and attractive tiling and lighting. The second floor has two bedrooms with dormer windows and the larger, main bedroom includes a refitted en suite shower room/wc. The second floor landing has access to large eaves storage cupboards. Overall this is a wonderful character family home. Viewing is essential.

The Cottage is situated on the outskirts of Chester-le-Street.
