Front Street, Pelton, Chester le Street, DH2

We are pleased to offer to the market this superb Grade II-listed Georgian residence combing the charm of a traditional family home with the benefits of modern living. Set back from the road within approximately 1.97 acres of mature gardens, the property offers ample parking via a sweeping gravel driveway and turning circle, alongside a detached double garage, additional stone outbuildings, and a versatile workspace. The home retains a wealth of character features throughout, including sliding sash windows, high ceilings, wood panelling, and multiple multifuel stoves, one of which is linked to a back boiler, while the overall presentation reflects careful restoration and refurbishment by the current owners.

The main entrance is positioned to the rear, opening into a long, light-filled hallway with wood-effect tiled flooring, wall panelling, and a striking picture window overlooking the front garden. From here, two generous reception rooms sit to one side, both featuring sash windows, high ceilings, and focal point multi-fuel stoves set within bespoke surrounds. The impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space is fitted with bespoke painted solid beech cabinetry, granite worktops, and a central island with breakfast bar, complemented by integrated appliances, a range cooker set within an inglenook, and a Belfast sink with garden views. The adjoining dining area offers built-in entertainment storage and flexible use, while a cloakroom and boiler cupboard are accessed via stairs from the hallway.

A return staircase with oak banister and wrought iron spindles leads to a bright first-floor landing with space for seating, illuminated by a large arched window. This level hosts four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with built-in oak wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite featuring a rolltop bath, walk-in shower, and dual heating sources. The remaining bedrooms are equally generous, two with fitted storage, and are served by a high-quality family bathroom with a Victorian-style suite comprising a rolltop bath, twin sinks, bidet, and separate shower.

The second floor provides highly flexible accommodation with potential for self-contained or multi-generational living, including a large open-plan bedroom and living area with exposed beams and rooflights, a separate dining or study room, a fitted kitchen, and a bathroom. Externally, the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and include a variety of mature trees, a former tennis court, a productive market garden, an orchard with fruit trees, and space for polytunnels. A striking circular koi pond forms a central feature, while the front garden also offers a patio area with a covered hot tub space beneath a wooden pagoda, enclosed by stone walls with reclaimed church windows, completing this exceptional and aspirational home.
