Cadger Bank, Lanchester, County Durham, DH7

Constructed from reclaimed Yorkshire stone with a SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) frame, Summerdale offers superior thermal performance, featuring dual layers of oriented strand board bonded to an insulated core. This not only enhances energy efficiency but also ensures a strong, durable structure. Complementing this is a heat recovery system, photovoltaic panels providing hot water, and a rainwater harvesting system that supplies all toilets (except the cloakroom) as well as external water taps.

The accommodation is thoughtfully designed to offer both space and versatility. The property boasts five generously proportioned bedrooms, including a separate, self-contained, 1 bedroom annex that is perfect for guests, a home office, or even a personal gym. The annex is a council tax band A and is currently discounted. The annex was previously used for an extremely successful Air BnB. Each of the five luxurious bathrooms is beautifully appointed with modern fittings and high-quality finishes. The heart of the home is a large, contemporary kitchen fitted with top-of-the-range appliances, which flows seamlessly into a practical utility room.

The interior is a masterclass in design, featuring striking vaulted ceilings in the dining and sitting rooms, lounge, and hallway, creating an impressive sense of space and natural light. The stunning orangery adds a touch of elegance, offering a serene spot to relax and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape throughout the year. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, powered by an efficient gas central heating system, while a built-in Sonos sound system provides seamless audio integration. Security is paramount, with comprehensive CCTV and alarm systems ensuring peace of mind.

Outside, Summerdale continues to impress with its 1/4 of an acre plot. The expansive terrace offers panoramic views across the valley, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A large driveway, accessed via secure electric gates, offers ample parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached garage, providing additional storage or workspace and is the ground floor to the annex. For added convenience, the property is equipped with external water taps and multiple twin electric sockets.

Summerdale offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient home in one of County Durham’s most sought-after locations. Just a short distance from Lanchester’s charming village amenities and with excellent transport links to Durham, Newcastle, and beyond, this property truly has it all. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, craftsmanship, and spectacular setting of this remarkable home.
