OFFERED TO THE MARKET WITH NO UPPER CHAIN - Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Chester-le-Street, this beautifully and meticulously proportioned and extended detached family home on Lilburn Close, offers a unique space and flexibility which is second to none, making everyday life feel calmer, easier and more enjoyable.

Step inside and you'll appreciate how the layout supports both togetherness and privacy. We are first greeted with a beautifully presented entrance hall with panelled wall features along with a glazed panel feature and carpet runner to the stairs and sliding internal doors giving you options to go through to a private lounge or separate living room with an open plan aspect for the kitchen/diner. The former garage has been converted into a welcoming extended lounge which features a gas fire for cosy and intimate evenings, however if you like a more social setting, go through to the living room which also features a gas fire and offers an ample open plan dwelling with an extended dining area and kitchen, spanning 29ft x 19ft. Despite the open plan setting, each area boasts individual characters with extensions, skylights and exposed brick wall features which all add to the property's charm and appeal. It's ideal for creating a home that adapts to your routines, with places to entertain friends, unwind with a book, or keep life organised without everything happening in one room.
Upstairs, four well-sized double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests. Currently, the second bedroom is being used as a walk-in wardrobe with double French doors connecting to the master bedroom, however this can be converted back into a separate bedroom. The three bathrooms help mornings run smoothly and add a touch of everyday luxury with a larger than average master ensuite and twin wash basins along with a family featuring a Japanese soaking tub. Whether it's a relaxing soak at the end of the day or the convenience of having space for everyone, this home is set up to make life feel that bit more effortless. But lets not forget to mention the stunning central feature on the first floor landing with high vaulted ceilings boasting 2 large Velux skylights along with the moveable ladder on a permanent rail for access to the loft space via an elevated door.
Outside, the setting within a cul-de-sac brings a reassuring sense of peace and privacy, perfect for those who value a quieter position while still being within easy reach of what you need. Boasting a large drive and 2 seating areas to catch the sun at different times of the day, it's the sort of home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive, with the potential to personalise and make truly your own.
The location in Chester Le Street is well placed for day-to-day convenience, with supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and healthcare services all within easy reach. For commuters and weekend plans, rail links are also readily accessible, making travel across the region straightforward.
