Summary - The Meadows, Mount Huley Farm, Thinford DH6 5JX
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Grand family home with extensive land, flexible living and rural privacy.
Approximately 2 acres of landscaped grounds and expansive rural views
Set within about two acres, this substantial four-bedroom detached farmhouse combines flexible living with countryside privacy. At approximately 3,271 sqft, the layout includes multiple reception rooms, a converted barn/summer room, and generous bedroom suites — three ground-floor bedrooms with en-suites and a principal suite above with dressing room and en-suite. Electric gates, a sweeping driveway and extensive gardens create a private, family-oriented setting with far-reaching rural views.
Practical features include a bespoke kitchen with utility and boot rooms, ample off-street parking, outbuildings and leisure spaces including a hot tub and bar area. The property is freehold, has no flood risk, and sits three miles from the A1(M) and about five miles from Durham, making it suitable for commuters who prioritise space and seclusion.
Buyers should note several material points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (no mains gas), drainage is to a septic tank, and broadband speeds are very slow. The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, has timber-frame elements with partial insulation assumed, double glazing installed before 2002, and an EPC rating of D. Council Tax is high and the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appeal.
This property will suit a family needing extensive indoor and outdoor space, or a buyer wanting a distinctive rural home with potential to modernise energy, insulation and connectivity. Essential remedial or upgrading works (heating, insulation, broadband and possible refurbishments) should be factored into budgets before purchase.
