Master bedroom with en-suite; three further bedrooms upstairs

An exclusive pocket of five premium new-build homes, set on the edge of Butterknowle, offers a contemporary take on traditional stone architecture. Each detached property is designed for family life with generous rooms, dual-aspect living space and an open-plan kitchen/dining area that opens onto a private rear garden. The homes come complete with a detached garage, private driveway and landscaped plot — practical features for daily life.
Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from a private en-suite while three further bedrooms share a modern family bathroom, giving flexible sleeping arrangements for children or guests. A separate utility and ground-floor WC add convenience. Interiors are newly finished and move-in ready, with the development marketed as freehold and built to current standards.
The setting is semi-rural: far-reaching views towards Cockfield Fell and countryside surroundings are a major draw, and fast broadband supports home working. The village location provides peaceful living but is relatively remote; nearest towns Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle are reachable for wider shopping, secondary schools and services. Local amenities include sports, equestrian and leisure facilities.
Practical points to note: one nearby primary school is rated “Requires improvement,” though other local schools have good Ofsted ratings. Crime levels and some services (mobile signal) are average. Council tax banding is not provided. These homes suit buyers seeking modern, spacious family accommodation with countryside outlooks rather than those needing immediate town-centre convenience.
