House to swap in Durham, United Kingdom (Ref: 1329)

A large, well maintained end terrace dating from the late 19th century, with a dining-kitchen, two reception rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a boarded loft and double garage. The house has WIFI, double glazing, gas central heating, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and a new Wethertex protective coating being applied as I write.  There are secluded gardens, back and front, with apple and plum trees, roses and shrubs.  There is the possibility of building over the garage (33.6 m2).

Location:  Our house is on high ground, on the edge of open country with beautiful walks, in a quiet, friendly village, but within 10 mins. walking distance of a supermarket, doctor, schools and allotments. It is within easy driving distance of Durham, Gateshead/Newcastle and the Northumberland National Park.  Regular public transport passes the end of the road.  The town 2 miles away has supermarkets, dentists, a whole food shop, swimming pool and leisure centre, and there is a hospital on the approach to Durham.  

Price: £176,000

Looking to swap for: We are looking for a lower priced house in France, Italy, Germany or Scandinavia, and a family who are willing to pay towards moving into a bigger house in the UK.  

Other than that, we work from home, and so need a good internet connection and transport links.  We would like sufficient garden to enable us to grow some of our own food. 

This property is for sale or permanent swap through the owner.
