Set on roughly 0.4 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, this five-bedroom detached home pairs generous outdoor space with flexible living suited to families or professionals. The ground floor features a large open-plan kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors onto a west-facing patio and lawn, plus a spacious reception room and a ground-floor master with a generous en-suite. An external outbuilding with power and alarm provides dedicated office or gym space away from the main house.
Practical extras include an electric gated driveway with ample off-street parking, fully enclosed gardens that are pet-friendly, a security alarm and CCTV, and optional furnished or unfurnished sale. Solar panels are fitted and broadband/mobiles are strong in the area. The house offers comfortable, contemporary accommodation across multiple reception rooms and four further bedrooms upstairs, making it suitable for larger families or multi-generational living.
The property sits on the fringe of town with countryside views towards Durham City while remaining close to A690 and A1(M) links, schools rated Good, and local amenities. The site’s very large plot is a standout feature for outdoor living, entertaining, or further landscaping/extension subject to permissions.
Note the house is described as average-sized internally despite the expansive grounds; purchasers should consider internal layout versus room count if seeking very large principal rooms. The area is described as an ageing urban community and self-sufficient retirement classification, which may influence local demographic character.
