Hamilton Row, Waterhouses, Durham, County Durham, DH7

A substantial and beautifully updated three-bedroom traditional terraced home located in the picturesque semi-rural village of Waterhouses, County Durham.

Surrounded by stunning open countryside yet only around 8 miles from Durham City Centre, this superb property combines generous living space, high ceilings and impressive period features with stylish modern upgrades.

The home offers an inviting blend of traditional charm and contemporary comfort. On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance hallway with porch leads to a spacious family lounge featuring a character fireplace. To the rear, a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room provides the perfect family and entertaining space, complete with a cosy log-burning stove. The modern Wren kitchen offers excellent storage, polished stone worktops, a contemporary sunken sink, integrated oven, hob, extractor, and a built-in wine cooler. A practical under-stairs cupboard adds further convenience.

Beyond the kitchen lies a useful utility/auxiliary kitchen fitted with additional base units, worktop space and a secondary sink. A rear entrance lobby then leads to the ground-floor cloakroom/WC and boot room—ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

To the first floor, a charming landing with exposed brick pillars gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom features a decorative cast iron fireplace and twin rear windows framing lovely open countryside views. Two further bedrooms are located to the front, one benefiting from built-in storage. A modern family bathroom with shower-over-bath completes the first floor. From the landing, there is also access to a large loft room with skylight windows providing excellent storage potential.

Externally, the property boasts a paved rear yard and gravelled parking for two vehicles, along with a lawned garden and gated access straight onto the Deerness Valley Walkway.

The home underwent a comprehensive refurbishment approximately 21 years ago, with continued improvements over recent years including new roof coverings, updated UPVC double glazing to most windows, installation of the log-burning stove, cosmetic enhancements, and the modern re-fitted kitchen.
