This substantial new-build self-built detached home is designed for family living, combining generous indoor space with energy-saving features. The open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room creates a bright, sociable heart to the house while two further reception rooms provide flexible living, play or home-working areas. Owned solar panels and underfloor heating help reduce running costs and add year-round comfort.
Four double bedrooms sit on the first floor, three with en-suite shower rooms, and a separate family bathroom — five bathrooms in total ease morning routines for larger households. The principal bedroom offers generous proportions and fitted storage; the remaining bedrooms are well sized for children or guests. A ground-floor shower room, utility and study add practical convenience.
Outside, a large south-facing rear garden offers a private, sunlit space for children and entertaining. Driveway parking for multiple vehicles and an integral double garage give secure storage and off-road capacity. The plot size and layout also present scope for landscaping or a modest extension subject to consents.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: broadband speeds in the area are slow, council tax sits at band E (above average) and the property lies in an ex-mining area — buyers should seek solicitor confirmation about mining reports and any related ground condition checks. EPC details are currently TBC. Overall, this is a practical, energy-conscious family home in a quiet Thornley setting, ready for those who prioritise space and sustainability.
