LARGE TWO-BEDROOM CONVERTED BUNGALOW IN QUIET RURAL LOCATION

A rare opportunity here to own this large two-bedroom bungalow, part of what used to be a school building that is now divided into four homes. This makes for a pleasant little community situated next to Howlish Hall, a short distance from nearby Coundon. With stunning views across the County Durham countryside, and requiring modernisation, the property itself consists of: a main central hallway running from front to back, a large dual aspect living room with fireplace and views from front and side windows, one larger double bedroom and a good-size bathroom at the rear, and a second slightly smaller double bedroom at the front. The kitchen diner then leads out to the external space at the rear, where there is a garage with remote opening, while externally to the front, there is an enclosed garden. In such a wonderful rural location, with access to Coundon, Bishop Auckland and the A1, this property needs be seen to be fully appreciated.
