Description

Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase such a deceptively spacious and substantial detached family property with open views to the rear over open countryside.

Formerly The Robin Hood Inn 1876, the house has been owned for over 25 years by our clients and has been improved and extended during their ownership providing a spacious and flexible floor plan which briefly comprises: entrance porch leading into the lounge with French doors opening onto the driveway, a large dining room leading through to the family room which opens in turn into the light and bright Orangery with windows to rear, French doors onto the patio and two Velux windows. The open plan kitchen/diner has a range of freestanding floor units with inset double drainer stainless steel sink unit, a gas range stove and space for an American style fridge freezer. There is a utility room set between the internal door to the garage and the downstairs WC.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, and the main bathroom. There is also another spacious room which could, with the addition of a partition wall, create a fifth bedroom but is currently utilised as a study. To the second floor there is a substantial open fourth double bedroom with two Velux windows overlooking the garden, and a door to the loft area which provides ample storage with wall-to-wall eaves cupboards.

Externally there is a good sized private garden to the rear of the property backing onto open farmland, predominantly laid to lawn with flowering shrubs and borders. There is an additional hard standing parking area accessed via double gates that could allow for secure parking of a caravan or motor home. There is ample parking for a good number of cars to the front of the property, as well as the garage with up and over door, light, water and power.

Leamside itself is a small community which lies adjacent to West Rainton just off the A(690) Durham to Sunderland Highway which also offers access to the A1(M) Motorway Interchange at Carrville and the A(19) Highway at East Herrington making it well placed for commuting purposes. The property is adjoined by a footpath leading to the National Trust Malygill Wood in circa ten minutes. A short walk through Leamside leads to the bustling Three Horseshoes Inn, the Farmshop Kitchen, Finchale View Riding School, and the popular Leamside Garden Centre & Nurseries. A turn down Cocken Road leads to the Cocken Lodge Golf Course and footpaths leading through Cocken Wood to Finchale Priory. On the other side of the A(690) carriageway is Homer Hill Farm. A good range of shopping and recreational facilities and amenities are available within Durham City, Houghton-le-Spring and Sunderland, all within short driving distances
