Salisbury Road, Newton Hall, Durham, DH1

Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase such a substantial and extended 5/6 bedroomed detached family home situated in the ever popular Newton Hall development.

The property does require an internal inspection to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer. The substantial floor plan briefly comprises: entrance hallway, cloakroom with low level wc and wash hand basin, lounge with attractive bay window to front and inset electric fire. There is a family room/bedroom 6 adjacent to a wet room with a suite comprising low level wc, wash hand basin, shower cubicle with mains fed wall mounted shower, wall mounted stool that can be lowered for seating, fully tiled walls and heated towel rail. On the other side of the wet room is a snug. When originally extended in the late 1970's all 3 of these were one room and, subject to obtaining the necessary building regulations from the Council, could be reverted back to a single space. The open plan kitchen/diner is an attractive light and airy open space. The kitchen area has a range of floor and wall units with inset sink drainer unit and a gas and electric Range cooker with extractor fan over. Running across the back of the property is a 21ft long conservatory with solid roof, windows to the sides and rear with two pairs of French doors opening onto the rear garden. There is a useful utility with a range of floor and wall units, inset stainless steel sink drainer unit, plumbing and space for washing machine and tumble dryer, large space allocated to a chest freezer and internal door opening through to the former garage. To the first floor there are five double bedrooms, three to the front and two to the rear, accessed off the large landing with a useful storage cupboard . There is a family bathroom with a suite comprising wash hand basin with cupboards under, corner Jacuzzi bath with shower mixer tap, shower cubicle with mains fed wall mounted shower and another storage cupboard which also houses the gas combi-boiler. There is a separate shower room which has a suite comprising low level wc, wash hand basin and an Insignia steam and multi jet shower cabin with an internal radio unit.

The property is situated on a corner plot and has gardens to the front, side and rear, the rear garden being predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with flowering shrubs and borders and an established tree line to the rear, all enclosed with fencing. There is a side garden which provides an ideal space to park a caravan or motor home, as well as an area which is currently utilised by our clients as a fruit and vegetable plot.

There are three storage sheds and the area to the front has a large gravelled area providing ample parking for a number of vehicles surrounded by flowering shrubs and borders. There is an additional block paved driveway for a single vehicle to the front of the original garage. As alluded to earlier there is a garage door to the front of the property, however, the garage has been fully lined and insulated to create an ideal storage area accessed through the utility room. This substantial family home extends to over 2,000 sq ft of useable accommodation and has the additional benefit of hard wired LAN internet connections to the majority of the rooms as well as T.V. aerial cabling.

The property benefits from 16 solar panels with a total capacity of 4 killowatts. Over the course of a year these generate approximately 3,000 kilowatt hours of energy which are eligible for a Feed-in-Tarriff (FIT) payment of approximately 74p per kilowatt hour, meaning over the last few years our clients have averaged approximately £2,200 in FIT payments per year. This is based on a quarterly reading and is regardless of any energy from the solar panels used in the property itself . The panels were installed in November 2011 and have a 25 year tariff meaning that these returns will run index linked until November 2036.

Salisbury Road is conveniently situated close to a range of local shops and amenities which are available within the development itself, with a more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities available within the nearby Arnison Retail Park and in Durham City Centre which lies approximately 3 miles distant. Newton Hall is well placed for commuting purposes lying adjacent to the A167 Highway which provides good road links to other regional centres.
