Three-bedroom rural home with two-acre paddock and planning permission for extension.
Stone-built barn conversion with period character
A handsome stone barn conversion set on a substantial plot, West Close Stables combines period character with recent high-quality renovation. The house offers three double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal bedroom, and a generous open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances and room to extend under recently granted planning permission.
The property sits with a two-acre paddock, separate stables and useful storage — rare for a town-fringe location — plus a double garage and driveway. Internally you’ll find sash-style hardwood double-glazed units, underfloor heating throughout and a modern gas boiler, creating a comfortable, energy-efficient feel.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as very expensive. The house is end-terrace in form and is best suited to buyers seeking rural character with equestrian or outdoor space, and who accept the area’s connectivity limitations.
Convenient access to Durham City, the A1 and A19 places commuter routes within reach while Chilton Academy and local amenities are nearby. Planning documents and room details are available on request for buyers wanting to progress the permitted kitchen extension or other improvements.
