The Grange is a substantial detached country house offering more than 3,500 sq ft of flexible family living set in grounds approaching two acres. Its extended kitchen/breakfast room with large skylight and island is the social heart of the home, while separate reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and a large first‑floor master suite give genuinely versatile accommodation for a growing or multi‑generational household.
A detached annex with kitchenette and shower room provides independent living for relatives, teenagers or rental potential. The grounds are mature and well‑arranged — pond, greenhouse, vegetable plot, children’s play area and multiple seating spots — and the gated entrance with tree‑lined boundary gives a private, country feel despite being within easy reach of the A1(M) and Durham city.
Buyers should note some practical faults and local issues: broadband speeds are very slow, the local area records higher crime and marked deprivation, and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The property has two gas combi boilers dividing heating between floors and council tax is above average. There is planning approval for a sunroom over the patio, which offers immediate scope to add usable space.
Overall, this is a rare large-plot family opportunity for purchasers seeking space, independent annex accommodation and scope to improve and personalise. No onward chain makes a quicker move possible, but buyers should factor in modernisation and connectivity improvements.
