Heslop Drive, Darlington, DL1

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac close to South Park and within easy reach of Darlington town centre, this well-proportioned three-bedroom detached home offers a rare opportunity to secure a property with scope for improvement in a popular residential area. Offering generous internal space, a west-facing garden, and practical features including a garage and off-street parking, this is a home with both immediate comfort and long-term potential.

The property is set back behind a block-paved driveway and lawned front garden, with side access to the rear. The setting is quiet and well-established, ideal for those seeking a more settled neighbourhood while remaining connected to local amenities, parks and transport links.

Internally, the ground floor comprises a large dual-aspect lounge and dining area, filled with natural light from front and rear windows. Sliding patio doors open onto the rear garden, creating a direct connection with the outdoor space. The room is comfortably sized, offering flexibility in layout for everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is located to the rear and includes fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances and access to a useful rear porch and the garden beyond. While the kitchen and decor may benefit from updating, the generous footprint and functional layout provide a strong foundation for improvement.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. The main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, and all rooms are served by a family bathroom with a separate shower and bath. A separate WC provides added practicality for busy households.

Externally, the west-facing rear garden offers a private and manageable space with lawn, patio area, and established borders. It is ideally oriented for afternoon and evening sun-perfect for summer use and outdoor enjoyment. The attached garage, complete with power, lighting, and personnel access, adds valuable storage or potential workshop space.

Heslop Drive's location is a key part of its appeal. South Park, one of Darlington's most historic and well-loved green spaces, is just a short stroll away and offers extensive walking routes, gardens, tennis courts and community events. Blackwell Grange Golf Club is also nearby, while schools, shops, and local amenities are all within easy reach. Excellent road and rail connections-via the A66, A1(M) and Darlington station-make it a convenient base for commuters.

This is a property that offers much more than first meets the eye. With its detached status, generous proportions and quiet position, Heslop Drive presents a rare opportunity to secure a home in a highly accessible area, with scope to modernise and personalise over time. A smart choice for those seeking long-term value in a well-regarded part of town.
