Almost 3,500 sq ft on a private south-facing 1-acre plot in coveted Darras Hall.
Architect-designed detached house circa 2005, almost 3,500 sq ft
An outstanding architect-designed detached family home set on an approximately 1-acre south-facing plot in prestigious Darras Hall. The house offers almost 3,500 sq ft of flexible living with a dramatic open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, generous formal lounge, dedicated study and five double bedrooms — three with en-suites — arranged over two floors. Built c.2005 and improved by the current owners, the property combines contemporary design, abundant glazing and well-planned circulation for modern family life.
Outdoor living is a major asset: extensive, landscaped south-facing lawns, paved terraces, a private sun terrace off the principal suite, garden stream with bridge and a Scandinavian BBQ hut provide many entertaining and relaxation areas. Practical features include a large multi-car driveway behind electric sliding gates, integral double garage, utility room and underfloor heating served by a mains gas boiler.
This home sits in a very affluent, low-crime suburb with excellent local schools and easy access to Ponteland village and Newcastle International Airport. It is sold freehold and is well presented throughout, but buyers should note practical considerations: council tax is very expensive and broadband speeds are slow in the area. Mobile signal is average.
Overall this is an ideal purchase for a family seeking privacy, generous indoor/outdoor space and strong school links in one of the North East’s most desirable addresses. Viewings are recommended to fully appreciate the scale, design and garden setting.
