This three-bedroom detached new-build at Windlestone Point offers a compact, well-planned family layout with modern specification. The open-plan kitchen/dining room with French doors gives direct garden access and works as the home's everyday hub, while a separate lounge provides a quieter living space. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and two further good-sized bedrooms suit children or home working.
Practical extras include a single garage, driveway parking and a walk-in cupboard plus downstairs WC. The home benefits from energy-efficient design, which should reduce running costs, and a 10-year NHBC warranty provides structural reassurance for buyers of a new build. The plot sits on a large garden and the development is surrounded by open countryside yet is only about a 10-minute drive from Durham city centre with easy access to the A1(M).
Notable practical points are the overall internal size (approximately 551 sq ft) which is compact for three bedrooms, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow — important if you work from home. There is a modest annual service charge of £139 and council tax band D; tenure is not confirmed in the summary provided. These facts make the property most suitable for first-time buyers or small families seeking low-maintenance, energy-efficient accommodation rather than those needing large internal space or ultra-fast connectivity.
