It is listed for sale by iamsold in association with Dowen Estates Agents. Nestled within one of Hartlepool's most idyllic and picturesque villages, this charming and delightfully quirky two-bedroom detached bungalow in Elwick Village offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking character, countryside surroundings, and exciting potential. Lovingly owned for over 36 years, the property now comes to the market as the current owner prepares to downsize, presenting a wonderful chance for the next owner to modernise and create their dream home. Perfectly positioned for commuters, the property provides easy access to the nearby A19 road while still enjoying a peaceful village setting. From the moment you arrive, the bungalow boasts fantastic kerb appeal. A distinctive horseshoe-shaped frontage provides ample off-road parking, complimented by a lengthy driveway leading to a double tandem garage. To the rear, the open countryside views are simply breath-taking, offering a tranquil backdrop rarely found. Internally, the home offers spacious and versatile accommodation. Entrance hallway, a bright bay-fronted lounge, a formal dining room, and a fitted kitchen. A side hallway connects to a recently added garden room, perfectly positioned to enjoy delightful views across the rear garden and surrounding fields. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms alongside a three-piece bathroom suite. The boarded loft space, complete with Velux windows to the side and rear, presents excellent potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents. Externally, the gardens to both the front and rear are attractively presented and designed for low maintenance, ideal for those seeking manageable outdoor space without compromising on charm.  Requiring some updating yet absolutely brimming with potential—and enhanced by battery-powered solar panels—this true hidden gem offers character, space, and a stunning village lifestyle opportunity.
