This recently built (2021) five-bedroom detached house on a small, select development suits growing families seeking contemporary space and good connectivity. At about 1,831 sq ft the Dura layout provides a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors opening to an enclosed garden, plus a separate lounge with a bay window. Practical additions include a utility room, integral double garage and a triple-width block-paved driveway that accommodates multiple cars.
Bedrooms are generous and flexible: the principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite, and there is a further guest en-suite. The ground floor layout, sizeable family bathroom with separate shower and bath, and approximately ten rooms overall make this house adaptable for home working, guests and family life. Gas central heating with boiler and radiators provides efficient warmth across the home.
Location strengths are clear: easy access to Newton Aycliffe, Darlington and the A1(M), fast broadband, and nearby Ofsted-rated Good primary and secondary schools. The property sits in an affluent, comfortable-suburbia setting with decent plot size and no flood risk. Freehold tenure adds ownership simplicity.
Be aware of two material negatives: local crime levels are above average and council tax is higher than typical — both factors to consider for household running costs and security. One nearby secondary (Greenfield Academy) is currently rated as requiring improvement, so check catchment options if school performance is a priority. Overall, the home offers modern, low-maintenance family living with substantial space and parking, balanced against local area considerations.
