This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow for sale in the established Garden Farm area to the west of Chester-le-Street town centre. The property occupies a good-sized corner plot and is in need of modernisation throughout, offering scope for a buyer to update and improve to their own specification.
The internal layout comprises an entrance hall, a living room with a large bay window, a fitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a refitted shower room with shower cubicle. The garage has been converted and is currently utilized as a utility space. Externally, the plot includes an extensive parking area suitable for several cars, providing practical off-street parking.
Garden Farm is a residential development well placed for access to local shops and day-to-day amenities on the estate itself, while Chester-le-Street town centre offers a wider range of supermarkets, independent retailers, healthcare facilities, cafés, and restaurants. The town’s Riverside Park, set alongside the River Wear, provides open green space, riverside walks, and play areas, as well as regular community events, making it a useful recreational resource.
Chester-le-Street is known for its range of schooling options across primary and secondary levels, with several schools located within a short drive or local bus journey of Garden Farm, serving families in the surrounding neighbourhoods.
The town is an established commuter base, with strong transport connections by both road and rail. Road links include easy access to the A1(M), placing Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Sunderland within convenient driving distance for work, education, or leisure. Chester-le-Street railway station lies on the East Coast main line, offering services to major destinations including Newcastle and Durham, and longer-distance connections towards London and Edinburgh. Typical journey times are around 10–15 minutes to Newcastle and under 10 minutes to Durham, subject to timetable and service chosen.
From Garden Farm, local bus services provide further connections into Chester-le-Street town centre and neighbouring areas, supporting those who prefer to travel without a car. The combination of a sizeable corner plot, on-site parking for several vehicles, and proximity to both local amenities and regional transport routes makes this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow a practical option for buyers seeking a home in Chester-le-Street that they can modernise over time.
