Description

THE PROPERTY
The sale of Goodwell Farm presents the opportunity to purchase a substantial and beautiful period house with an adjoining cottage in a pretty and wooded position and close to the sought after and picturesque conservation village of Brancepeth. Brimming with charm and character the property has been the subject of a meticulous modernisation and enhancement project that has combined the original features with modern creature comforts to create a beautifully presented and stylish home.

Entering through a welcoming porch into the farmhouse, the reception hall allows seamless access to the ground floor accommodation that includes a drawing room with an open fire in an oak and marble surround and an office with bi-fold doors opening into the garden room with a much loved view across the garden and parkland to the south. There is a sleek and modern living/breakfasting kitchen with oak floor, featuring a range of stylish fitted units complimented by a striking granite surface and a range of integrated appliances by Siemens. An Aga adds both functionality and style and there is a separate utility room, access doors to the front, rear and a door to the cellar.

The dining room is an excellent venue for entertaining convenient to the kitchen. A vaulted ceiling with floor to ceiling windows to two elevations bathe the interior in natural light and allow views to the south.

There is underfloor heating to the whole of the ground floor.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms and five bathrooms. On the first floor the central landing provides access to the master bedroom suite with wardrobe space and a stylish en-suite bathroom with a four-piece suite in wet room style and a walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms also feature luxurious ensuite facilities, while the fourth double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor is accessed through a bespoke dressing room with a range of wardrobes, drawers and shoe storage.

On the 2nd floor there is a double bedroom and another luxurious bathroom. A low door from the landing leads to another room which is currently used as a gym.

OUTSIDE
Compelling attributes of Goodwell Farm include the secluded yet accessible location, the striking garden and adjoining farmland giving far reaching views to the south. The property is at the end of a long private shared drive and is ultimately accessed via a private electronic gated drive which culminates in an expansive gravelled parking apron. A double garage featuring electric roller shutter doors, ensures both security and convenience and is integral to the farmhouse. The south of Goodwell unveils a beautifully landscaped English country garden, enclosed by traditional stone walls. Adorned with vibrant floral displays, borders, a charming patio area and a kitchen garden, this outdoor space provides a tranquil retreat. There is useful outdoor storage within the extensive outbuildings. There are 5 stables in a detached building and a large barn.

GOODWELL BARN
Perfect for multi - generational living or a home business venture, the adjoining barn is of traditional stone construction and has also been lovingly renovated to the same high-quality finish.

The barn provides 2 double bedrooms, one with direct garden access, a shower room, generous living/dining room with log burner and a modern breakfasting kitchen with integrated appliances.

Goodwell Barn has an attached single garage, ample parking and a beautiful sheltered walled cottage garden to the rear.

LOCATION
Goodwell Farm is a country house located in open countryside. Brancepeth is the closest village. It is a conservation area and one of the most picturesque and sought after villages in County Durham. It was voted into 8th place by The Daily Telegraph in the list of “Poshest Villages in Britain.” Brancepeth occupies a pleasant rural setting with an attractive Medieval Castle, an 18-hole championship golf course, as well as a charming village church.

The village has a quintessentially English and rural feel despite the extremely convenient distance to the nearby city of Durham. Brancepeth is situated approximately 5 miles to the West of Durham City Centre where there is a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available. It is especially well placed for commuting purposes up and down the country, by car, train and by air.
