The Property 
Set in an enviable, elevated position with views of the River Derwent, The Ranch is a modern, stone-built home in the heart of the County Durham countryside. Combining a modern design with an exclusive location, this property is distinguished by its expansive open-plan living areas, a terrace perfect for sunset views, and a blend of versatile spaces that cater to both family life and entertaining. 

Inside, you are greeted by a bright, double-height reception hall with a striking galleried landing. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living area, featuring a North West-facing wall of bifold doors that open fully onto a large sun terrace, perfect for enjoying the property’s excellent views. The space is thoughtfully arranged into defined seating, dining, and kitchen areas, with the kitchen boasting sleek, contemporary cabinetry, an island with a breakfast bar, and integrated Neff appliances, including a hob, oven, microwave, and fridge freezer. 

Adjacent to the kitchen, a sitting room provides an additional retreat, complete with a wood-burning stove and glass doors opening to the terrace. A versatile fifth bedroom or home office provides a quiet space for work or relaxation. The ground floor also includes a utility room with garden access, a cloakroom/WC, and further storage. 

Upstairs, the galleried landing, flooded with natural light from Velux windows, leads to the principal bedroom suite. This space features a large, airy bedroom with windows on three sides, offering captivating views of the surrounding woodland landscape, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and a modern en-suite shower room. 

Three additional double bedrooms provide ample accommodation, each with generous proportions and scenic views. A family bathroom, complete with a double-ended bath and walk-in rainfall shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.

The property also enjoys access to walking paths, including the Red Kite Walk, which leads to the Derwent Walk.
