Built in 1901, this impressive semi-detached family home is situated in the centre of Rowlands Gill village - within the conservation area - and offers a superb blend of traditional early 20th century character with the luxury and convenience of modern living, as well as being handily placed for the shops and facilities on either side of Station Road and for commuting to Newcastle.

(2,300+ sq.ft.) of accommodation - including the garage -with double-glazed windows and gas central heating (via Vaillant combi. boiler) and with an energy efficiency rating of C (70).

Off the hallway, to the front, is a spacious living room with a bay window and dado and picture rails, while to the rear is the fitted kitchen/breakfast room (including a Range-style cooker) which opens into the adjacent dining room with a lean-to/conservatory overlooking the patio and garden. There are also French doors from the kitchen to the rear garden, while an internal door leads to a lobby with a storage cupboard and W.C, through to the garage which has access to the utility room with plumbing, a sink, wall/base units and another door to the garden.

Off the main, original landing are two large double bedrooms and a smaller fifth bedroom/study, as well as the stunning and spacious family bathroom, which was fitted in 2021 with an impressive Burlington suite including a roll-top bath with mixer shower attachment, separate walk-in shower and wash basin in vanity unit.
