3 bed semi-detached house to rent

Lanethorpe Road, Darlington DL1

Property Reference: 2339430.

This is the perfect family home, with spacious gardens, off-road parking, good sized bedrooms, a porch, conservatory and two stores in the garden. The house has recently been upgraded with superb insulation, and is now heated by a heat pump partially funded by an array of solar panels. There is no gas in the house thereby avoiding gas standing charges and the heat pump operates with a cost-effective heat pump electric tariff. A particular feature of this house is the large, private, south facing garden which captures sunshine throughout the year.

The property is set back from Lanethorpe Road behind a wide grass verge and footpath. A well established privet hedge gives privacy for the front garden which is mainly laid down to concrete. There is ample space for off-road parking for 2 vehicles, including a larger vehicle such as a transit van. You enter the house through a porch which has space for prams, car seats, coats, boots etc, into a small hall. To the left is the kitchen/diner which has plenty of storage space and a set of drawers. There is an electric induction hob and a fan oven. To the left of the sink there is plumbing for a washing machine and to the right space for a drier which could be repurposed for a dishwasher. There is a useful under stairs cupboard where the electric meters are housed and ample space for a dining table and fridge or fridge/freezer. The kitchen has new lvt flooring to withstand spills, and easy to clean.

To the right as you enter the house is the lounge with grey laminate flooring. There is a bay window overlooking the front garden and upvc doors through to the conservatory which overlooks the back garden. The lounge has a decorative fireplace which serves as a focal point, with shelving to the left hand side. You enter the conservatory from the rear of the lounge, overlooking the large back garden. With laminate flooring, the conservatory is a useful additional space with multiple uses. In summer it has huge solar gain which heats the rest of the house. There is an Indian sandstone patio running the whole length of the rear of the house set above the large back garden which is laid to lawn and in need of some tlc. A mature silver birch tree provides shade. There is a brick store near the house with power, and a second, larger
, concrete store near the rear of the garden.

Newly carpeted throughout the upper storey, stairs lead up from the hall to a small landing. Bedroom 1 to the front is a good size double with a useful large walk-in cupboard over the hall and stairs. Access to the roof is via this cupboard, although tenants are not permitted to use the loft due to the solar power installation. Bedroom 2 is also to the front, overlooking Lanethorpe Road, and is a smaller double. Bedroom 3 overlooks the rear of the property and is a good size single room with the benefit of a built in cupboard. The hot water tank is housed in a cupboard off the landing, and there is a separate toilet and bathroom. The bathroom has a bath, shower and washbasin, with practical vinyl flooring.

The landlady has recently had major surgery hence the presentation of the house is not as good as she would like. There are a few minor matters to be completed over the next week before the house can be let.

Please note that due to the forthcoming Renters Rights Acts the successful applicant will need to pass financial referencing by an external provider and provide good references from the previous landlord.
