4 bedroom Detached House for sale, Houghton Le Spring, Tyne and Wear, DH5

Originally constructed in 1932, Wayside is a substantial detached period home which has been painstakingly renovated and restored room by room, by the present owner, to its former glory, and although it is now virtually a new build home, great care and attention has been given to ensure that it remains true to the original charm and character of a home of this period.

The property has been significantly extended using reclaimed materials that even includes bricks used in one of the original chimneys, and feature fireplaces, high ceiling, coving and picture rails, stain glass windows and the use of natural timber now sit alongside double glazing and modern heating including contemporary radiators.

All renovation and extension works were planned using the highest quality of materials to ensure that ongoing maintenance would be kept to a minimum with the present owner using all his skills as a joiner and architect to ensure that all works were completed to a precise specification.
