A beautiful bungalow near the historic Finchale Abbey in Durham has emerged onto the market for just under £150,000.

The ruins themselves are not up for sale and the abbey will remain open as usual.

The bungalow has a spacious living room, modern kitchen and a master bedroom with an en suite.

The three-bedroom bungalow is next to Finchale Abbey (sometimes called Finchale Priory), a 13th-century former Priory and outpost of nearby Durham Cathedral.

The agent described the surroundings of the bungalow as "idyllic".

The Rightmove listing states: "This three-bedroom detached lodge is located in the idyllic surroundings of Finchale Abbey Village in Durham.

"The property comprises a spacious living room, modern fitted kitchen/diner, inner hallway, a utility room, master bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe, two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

"Externally there is a decked terrace and a driveway for off-street parking.
