Low Carrs Park, Durham, DH1 5HG

THE HOME

Occupying an attractive position on Low Carrs Park in Durham, this well appointed two bedroom park home bungalow combines generous living accommodation with established gardens, a detached garage and driveway parking. Offering approximately 937 sq ft of internal accommodation, including the conservatory, the home provides a thoughtfully arranged layout with separate living and dining rooms, two bathrooms and excellent bedroom storage.

The entrance hallway creates a welcoming first impression, with soft decorative tones, a recessed display niche and useful built-in storage. From here, doors lead to the principal accommodation, keeping the bedrooms conveniently separate from the main living areas. Measuring approximately 19’2” x 10’10”, the spacious living room is a particularly appealing feature. Windows on two aspects draw in natural light, while two distinctive shaped windows add character to the front elevation. A feature fireplace provides a central focal point, complemented by wall lighting, ceiling coving and fitted carpeting. The generous proportions allow plenty of flexibility for arranging sofas and occasional furniture, creating a comfortable setting for everyday relaxation or entertaining.

A door leads through to the separate dining room, which offers space for a dining table and chairs. An open archway connects this room with the kitchen, providing a practical arrangement for serving meals while retaining clearly defined spaces. Beyond the dining room, the conservatory provides a delightful additional reception area. With glazing overlooking the garden and double doors opening outside, it offers an inviting spot for morning coffee, reading or enjoying the changing seasons.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary grey wall and base units, complemented by light worktops, tiled walls and contrasting flooring. A built-in double oven, separate hob and extractor provide the principal cooking facilities, while a stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath the window overlooking the rear garden. There is also space for appliances and a door giving convenient access outside.

The main bedroom is a comfortable double room, measuring approximately 11’3” x 9’7”. Fitted dressing furniture incorporates drawers, cupboards and a window seat with storage beneath, making effective use of the available space. A separate walk-in wardrobe provides further storage, while the adjoining ensuite includes an enclosed shower cubicle, WC and washbasin set into a vanity unit. The second bedroom measures approximately 9’9” x 9’7” and benefits from a bank of built-in wardrobes. It provides useful accommodation for visiting family and friends, with the flexibility to incorporate a study or hobby space according to individual requirements.

Completing the interior is a separate bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath and mixer shower attachment, WC and vanity washbasin with cupboard storage below. Pale blue wall finishes and an obscure-glazed window create a light and pleasant setting.

Outside, established shrubs, clipped evergreens and decorative gravel give the frontage an attractive appearance. A driveway leads to the detached garage, which measures approximately 21’8” x 8’2” and benefits from a pedestrian side door. The enclosed rear garden offers a generous outdoor retreat, with paving, gravelled areas and a circular patio providing a choice of places for garden furniture and planted pots. Mature trees and greenery beyond the rear boundary form a leafy backdrop, while direct access from the kitchen and conservatory makes the garden a natural extension of the living space.
