Large private plot with stables and countryside riding nearby.
Detached converted barn with strong period character
A striking detached barn conversion set in a large private plot near Coxhoe, this house blends rustic character with recent sympathetic renovation. Exposed beams, arched glazed windows and wood-burning stoves create authentic charm, while a modern fitted kitchen and updated bathrooms provide comfortable, contemporary living. The property includes a stable block and useful workshop/gym, and there is parking for several vehicles in the gravelled courtyard.
The home sits in a truly rural setting with excellent hacking and bridle paths on the doorstep and Coxhoe village under 1km away for local shops, cafés and amenities. Durham city and the A1(M) are within easy driving distance, making it practical for commuting while retaining a countryside feel. Two acres of separate land are offered by negotiation — this land is NOT included with the sale but may suit buyers wanting extra paddock or grazing.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is oil‑fired with boiler and radiators, drainage is to a septic tank, and the EPC rating is D. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The area shows higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, and council tax is described as expensive; buyers should factor these into ongoing running costs.
This house will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home or equestrian enthusiasts who value private outdoor space and direct access to bridleways. It is newly renovated but retains period features, so it offers immediate comfort with potential to personalise further.
