This new-build four-bedroom detached home at Windlestone Point offers contemporary family living with an open-plan kitchen/family/dining area and French doors to a private garden. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en suite, and there is a separate laundry room, downstairs WC and flexible space suitable for a home office.
Built with energy-efficient design and backed by a 10-year NHBC warranty, the property promises lower running costs and reduced maintenance compared with older homes. An integral single garage and driveway provide convenient parking, and the plot is noticeably larger than many new-build neighbours — useful for families who value outdoor space. The development sits in open countryside while remaining around 10 minutes’ drive from Durham city centre and the A1(M).
Practical points to note: the total internal size is modest (about 816 sq ft), broadband speeds in the area are slow, and there is an annual service charge of £139. There is good mobile signal and no recorded flood risk, but those needing high-speed internet for remote work should check provider options before committing.
Overall this house suits a growing family seeking a low-maintenance, energy-efficient new home close to good local schools and country surroundings, with straightforward parking and a warranty-backed finish.
