An exceptional converted Gatehouse offering characterful living across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, sensitively restored with a bespoke specification. Period features such as exposed beams and a restored 200-year-old fireplace sit alongside modern comforts including underfloor heating throughout, double glazing and high-spec kitchen appliances. The property is Freehold, newly renovated and arranged over three floors with a large converted attic creating flexible accommodation for family life or home working.
Set on a very large, private plot within wooded grounds, the house benefits from a garden room that captures light from multiple aspects and a long driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles. The elevated setting in Castle Eden delivers a rural feel with scenic walks nearby, while the village amenities and good road links make Durham and the coast easily reachable.
Notable practical points are plain: the home is heated by an LPG boiler (not a community supply) with radiators, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and local crime rates are above average. The property’s solid brick walls have internal insulation and some ongoing maintenance typical of older buildings may be required in future despite recent renovation.
This is a distinctive opportunity for a family or professional household seeking a characterful, turnkey home with sizeable grounds and flexible space. Buyers should be comfortable with LPG heating and slower internet provision, and may wish to budget for long-term maintenance associated with an older, listed-style building fabric.
