5 bedroom Detached House for sale, Ebchester, Consett, DH8

Formerly 'The Chelmsford' pub with a spacious flat above it, this substantial property has been granted change of use by Durham County Council for conversion to a residential house, and is available with no onward chain.

The current layout comprises, to the ground floor: a bar and lounge area along with a catering kitchen, a games area and toilets. The first floor currently provides a three-bedroomed flat with a landing leading to a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and the three bedrooms. There are mains services connected - electricity, gas and water/drainage - and the property has gas central heating. There is a parking area to the front and additional parking space to the rear where there is decking with a pagoda. The separate garden plot, situated above and to the rear, has another right of access from Front Street.

There is a right of access for a neighbouring land owner along the driveway, to the side; the rear neighbour has plans to build a stone-built detached property on the land to the rear.

Situated within the conservation area in Ebchester village, 'The Chelmsford' is situated along the A694 - next to the staggered crossroads with the B6309 - and has a popular local shop, a church and a school. There is easy access to Consett (3.3 miles) and Newcastle (13 miles) via the A694, and further to Durham (15 miles) on the A691, making this an excellent location from which to commute. It is also close to Northumberland and there are several countryside walks and cycle routes in the area and a local pub - The Derwent Walk Inn - half a mile up the bank.
