7 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial townhouse within one of Chester le Street's most highly regarded residential areas. The living space will prove very hard to match, with large rooms over three floors, an enclosed garden and a large gated parking area to the rear. This imposing, double-fronted house boasts tremendous character in keeping with its history, dating back to the late 1800s, and includes high corniced ceilings and period fireplaces in numerous rooms. From the forecourt garden, an entrance lobby opens to a magnificent central entrance hall with an ornate arch and turned spindles to the staircase. There are three large reception rooms and a lobby from the hall leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, which includes oak fronted units and a large brick inglenook housing the Leisure Rangemaster cooking range. Beyond the kitchen, a good-sized utility leads to the ground floor cloakroom/wc. On the first floor, the central landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles. The principal bathroom is a superb feature of the house. The spacious room includes a free-standing roll top bath, twin wash basins and a large walk-through shower area. On the second floor, there are three more large double bedrooms, one of which extends the full 30ft depth of the house. There is also a second bathroom. Externally, there is a gated front garden which leads to the sheltered, private side garden. To the rear, remote-controlled gates lead to the very extensive secure parking area. There is gas central heating via radiators and double glazing. Overall, this is an exceptional home in terms of the space, layout and beautiful character features.

Red Rose Terrace is ideally situated close to Chester le Streets town centre amenities and the attractive Riverside Park area adjacent to the River Wear and First Class County Cricket ground. It therefore lies within walking distance of the town's many shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. The town is an excellent commuter base with good road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. The town's railway station, also within walking distance, is situated on the main east coast line linking London and Edinburgh.
