St. Marys Avenue, Crook, DL15 4 bedroom semi-detached house For Sale in Crook

Description

Crook is situated a couple of miles north of the River Wear, approximately 9 miles south-west of the Historic City Of Durham and 5 miles north-west of Bishop Auckland, which is home to the spectacular open air night show Kynren-An Epic Tale of England.

The A690 road from Durham turns into the A689 leading up through Wolsingham and Stanhope into the upper reaches of Weardale (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Located on the edge of Weardale, Crook is consequently sometimes referred to as the "Gateway to Weardale". The centre of Crook features a variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. There are two prominent churches, the centrally located St Catherine's CE and Our Lady Immaculate and St Cuthbert's RC on Church Hill. On top of the hills to the east sits Crook Golf Club.

The property has been subject to a great deal of expenditure by the current vendors to include a full rewire and a new gas central heating boiler installed in 2023.

Laid out over three floors, the internal layout briefly comprises: Entrance Hallway with staircase rising to the first floor, a well-proportioned Lounge, separate Dining Room, Kitchen and Cloakroom/Wc.

To the first floor, Three Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom.

A staircase rises to the converted loft space (built to building regulations in 1974) which provides an impressive Fourth Bedroom.

Occupying a generous plot the property has a block paved forecourt, providing off road parking facilities.

To the rear, a private and enclosed garden.

In our opinion this ready to move into property, would make an exceptional family home for the discerning purchaser and therefore an early viewing is highly recommended.
