3 bedroom detached house for sale

Sylvadale is an impressive three doublebedroom detached period home, dating back to the late 1800's. Full of original charm yet enhanced with thoughtful modern touches, the property offers exceptionally wellproportioned accommodation and an immediate sense of space as soon as you step inside.
Situated in the highly convenient Harrowgate Hill area of Darlington, the home is within walking distance of several primary schools and Longfield Secondary School, rated Good by Ofsted. A wide range of local shops, supermarkets, a nearby park and excellent transport links—both to Darlington town centre and the A1M north and south—make this an ideal location for families and commuters alike.
Inside, the property feels warm, inviting and filled with natural light, with the double-aspect ground floor rooms enjoying sunshine throughout the day. The upgraded kitchen/dining area has been transformed into a superb openplan space, complete with a useful utility room. The spacious lounge features a stunning ornate fireplace with a logburning stove, creating a cosy focal point.
The original staircase with its beautiful balustrade and striking stainedglass window leads to the first floor, where you will find three generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom/WC. Externally, the front of the property offers ample offstreet parking via a blockpaved driveway. The southfacing rear garden is a wonderful haven, featuring a lawn, established borders filled with mature shrubs, fruit bushes and trees, and a paved seating terrace.
