3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Talys, Smallhope Drive, Lanchester, Durham DH7

Set in one of the most picturesque spots within the highly sought-after village of Lanchester, this exceptional extended detached bungalow enjoys a truly idyllic setting. Surrounded by mature trees and bordered by a gentle beck, the property offers a peaceful and private backdrop, enhanced by beautifully landscaped gardens.

The home has been tastefully modernized and significantly extended to the rear, incorporating two balconies that perfectly frame the stunning woodland outlook.

Inside, the heart of the home is a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a light-filled atrium-style seating space overlooking the beck. This flows seamlessly into a cosy lounge with feature fireplace and French doors to the front sunroom. The entrance porch leads into a welcoming reception hallway, giving access to three generous double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom/WC with shower over bath. The master bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, while bedroom two also benefits from an en-suite shower room and French doors onto a balcony. A third double bedroom completes the accommodation.

Beyond the interiors, the gardens are an outstanding feature. Expansive lawns, mature shrub borders, hedgerows, and woodland surroundings create a secluded haven of tranquillity. A meandering beck marks the eastern boundary, with open fields beyond.

The lower ground floor/basement provides a range of versatile rooms ideal for storage, hobbies, or conversion into a home gym, studio, or office. In addition, the former detached garage has been thoughtfully converted into a dedicated home office with heating, lighting, and power.

Located near the vibrant village centre with its array of independent shops, cafes, and amenities, this unique property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Early viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate the rare charm and lifestyle this home affords.
