This substantially extended four-bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot within the desirable Stainmore Drive development in Great Lumley. Individually designed extensions add generous family living space, including a vaulted garden room, a refitted twenty-foot kitchen with skylight, and an open-plan lounge and dining area exceeding twenty-six feet. The property benefits from an integral garage, ample driveway parking, southerly-facing rear garden and uninterrupted views over adjoining countryside.
The accommodation is well specified for modern family life: uPVC double glazing, a modern Baxi combi boiler, integrated kitchen appliances and a fitted alarm system. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and there are three further double bedrooms plus a large family bathroom with a spa bath. The layout suits families seeking light, space and flexible reception rooms for entertaining or day-to-day living.
Practical details: the tenure is long leasehold (999 years from July 1990, about 963 years remaining) with a modest ground rent of £35 per year. Council Tax band E is above average and should be budgeted for. The estate offers a semi-rural feel while remaining well connected by road and rail; Chester-le-Street and the A1(M) are a short drive away, and local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings.
Summary: a spacious, contemporary family home on a substantial plot, offered with strong transport links and rural outlooks. Buyers should note the leasehold title and ongoing council tax level, but will find significant living space and outdoor amenity suited to growing families.
