Glenside, Shotley Bridge

2 Bedroom Bungalow for sale in Consett

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming detached bungalow in leafy Shotley Bridge - this spacious two-bedroom home enjoys generous gardens, a garage, and a tranquil outlook over green space, combining comfort, character, and superb village positioning.

Tucked away within a highly regarded development, this detached bungalow presents a well-balanced blend of practicality and appeal. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by attractive frontage, with carefully considered planting adding warmth and colour to the entrance and framing the home beautifully. The property enjoys a generous corner plot with wrap-around gardens and side access to both aspects, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion rarely found.

A welcoming porch with tiled flooring provides space for coats and boots, with a useful storage cupboard to the side. A glazed internal door leads through to a wide and inviting hallway, where high ceilings and a calm, neutral palette hint at the feeling of homliness and the space to come.

The main lounge is positioned to the front of the property and features a large bay window that bathes the room in natural light. A recently installed gas fire, classic coving, and traditional proportions give the room a refined yet homely atmosphere. Across the hall, the second bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and a generous footprint, making it a versatile space for guests, hobbies, or working from home.

The principal bedroom is tucked to the rear and enjoys a box bay window overlooking the garden. Built-in wardrobes provide practical storage without encroaching on the sense of space, making it an ideal retreat.

The bathroom is well-appointed, featuring an electric shower set within a cubicle, alongside a white suite comprising a vanity basin and a housed WC.

The kitchen is another standout feature of the home - a generous space fitted with a range of grey high-gloss units and integrated under-counter fridge and freezer. With ample room for a dining table, this room is perfect for casual meals or entertaining. The large window frames a picturesque view across the garden and onto the open green space beyond, adding a peaceful, scenic backdrop to daily life. Leading from the kitchen is a compact utility area housing the gas combi boiler.

From the kitchen, a short flight of wide-tread steps descends to the integral garage, which benefits from an electric roller door, power, and lighting. The garage also houses the property's RCD unit and offers an excellent storage solution or secure parking option.

Externally, the gardens wrap around the property, offering a series of distinct outdoor spaces to enjoy. To the side, an elegant iron gate set into arched brickwork opens to a thoughtfully maintained planting area. To the rear, a paved seating terrace and neat lawn provide the perfect place to relax, with the uninterrupted view over the adjoining green space and woodland offering a true sense of escape - ideal for birdwatchers or anyone who values a quiet spot to enjoy the changing seasons. There are also outdoor storage bunkers, set beneath the property and accessed from the garden, ideal for keeping gardening tools and odds-and-ends.

While the property has been cared for and offers a number of appealing features, it would now benefit from a degree of modernisation and updating in places - presenting an exciting opportunity for a buyer to personalise and enhance the home to their own taste and standard.

Situated in Shotley Bridge, this property enjoys excellent access to village amenities, riverside walks, and local transport links, while retaining a peaceful, established setting.

Detached bungalows in this area are rarely offered to market - particularly those with such a lovely setting, generous gardens, and garage - making early viewing essential.
