Stop scrolling! This stunning double-fronted stone home in the Durham countryside is a showstopper. Flooded with light, with four bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms, a mid-century modern style kitchen/diner, versatile reception rooms, and sun-drenched gardens with breathtaking field views.

A stunning stone-built semi-detached home in the heart of the County Durham countryside, this double-fronted property combines bold design with timeless character and offers breathtaking views over adjacent fields.

Originally constructed circa 1840, this property has been thoughtfully altered and extended over more recent years, resulting in a large, bespoke home that is truly unique. The careful blend of period charm and contemporary design creates a residence full of character, style, and individuality.

The inviting entrance hallway features elegant hard flooring and glazed oak doors, leading to a ground floor W.C. with a stylish sink and toilet unit. The William Morris wallpaper makes a bold statement, hinting at the character within.

The open-plan kitchen/diner embraces a mid-century aesthetic, complete with a double oven, hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and a central breakfast island, while providing ample space for a dining table. A utility room, conveniently accessed from the kitchen, offers space for plumbing appliances and leads directly to the rear garden.

At the front of the property, a further generous hallway provides access to two versatile reception rooms. Currently, one serves as a home office/snug and the other as the main lounge, which impresses with a sophisticated dark colour palette, oak flooring, and a gas fire, all complemented by beautiful views over the fields.

Upstairs, a spacious landing is bathed in light from a striking arched window, leading to four bedrooms.

The two front bedrooms enjoy stunning field views, one of which has fitted storage and the other which showcases a charming Arts and Crafts-inspired styling, while the rear bedroom benefits from excellent fitted storage. Two elegantly finished tiled marble bathrooms complete the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the south-facing front garden features a pond and lawn, while the rear garden is designed to maximise evening sun with a patio, lawn, and established planting areas, as well as direct access to a detached double garage with electric door and a workshop/storage area. There is additional parking for two cars on the side lane, and the garage comes with the additional bonus of an EV car charger.

This home is a true statement of style and craftsmanship, offering a striking aesthetic, spacious living, and a serene countryside setting.

With its light-filled interiors, versatile living spaces, and beautifully landscaped gardens, this home offers a lifestyle of comfort and elegance in the heart of the Durham countryside. Every detail has been considered, creating a unique, inspiring space where family life, entertaining, and quiet relaxation can be effortlessly enjoyed.
