Stanhope Road South, Darlington

Very rarely do one of these apartments become available for sale and from visiting the property I can understand why. The location is perfect having the benefit of an extremely private location set behind brick built walls and screened by established trees and hedging. The property is accessed through entrance gates with the front of the property being mainly paved to allow for ample residents and visitor parking. The impressive first impression of it's grand origins remains as you enter through the gates and the pretty climbing roses and flowering bushes provide a homely feel.

Once inside the original reception hallway the feeling of space and grandeur is evident with an original feature fireplace and sweeping staircase to the first floor. There is access to Amber Suite which is situated on the ground floor.

The apartment has been upgraded and reconfigured by the current vendor and boasts both stylish and modern space which blends perfectly with the original character and features. The living, kitchen and dining space is open plan with an attractive feature fireplace with open fire at the heart of the room to cast a cosy glow. The original stained glass windows remain and are also a lovely feature. A large walk in cupboard provides ample storage and is currently used as a walk in wardrobe. The bedroom is a generous double room and has a large window providing plenty of natural light and a further circular stained glass window adding a feature to this room. The shower room/WC has been upgraded and refitted with a modern suite in keeping with the character and feel of the home.

Externally the hidden gem of Raydaleside is the delightful rear garden which is in full bloom at the moment and is well stocked with an abundance of flowering plants and shrubs. Mainly laid to lawn with mature trees the garden is communal and shared by the residents, large enough and having various areas of interest and to sit to enjoy your own space. The garden attracts a great deal of sunshine and put quite simply a delight to be able to enjoy without any of the work. In addition each apartment has a cellar for storage. The apartment is available with a Share of The Freehold and each resident contributes a monthly fee for the maintenance of the property and garden. Details of which can be obtained from our office.
