Peel House, Sacriston Lane, Witton Gilbert, Durham, DH7

Set within the sought-after village of Witton Gilbert, Peel House is a beautifully presented, freehold detached family home offering generous proportions, a flexible layout and a superb blend of comfort and style. With a welcoming porch added in 2021, four double bedrooms, and standout upgrades throughout, this is a home designed for modern family life and effortless entertaining.

Step inside via the large porch into a spacious hallway that immediately sets the tone: light, airy and impressively practical, with wider-than-usual internal doors across the ground floor for easy access between rooms.

At the heart of the home is a large lounge—perfect for cosy nights in or hosting friends—with French doors opening onto the garden and a real wood-burning stove creating a wonderful focal point.

Two further reception rooms provide excellent flexibility. The dining room offers an inviting, more formal space for family meals and gatherings, while the study is ideal for home working, reading or even a second sitting room. A 1GB internet connection makes working from home and high-demand streaming effortless.

The kitchen / breakfast room is generously sized and thoughtfully planned, with ample workspace and storage—ideal for busy family life. Integrated appliances include a double oven, dishwasher, microwave and ceramic hob, and the integrated fridge freezer was newly fitted in April 2026.

A separate utility room keeps day-to-day life neatly organised, with plumbing in place for a washing machine and dryer and space to manage coats, boots and household essentials without encroaching on the main kitchen. A handy downstairs W/C completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, Peel House continues to deliver on space, with four well-proportioned double bedrooms—ideal for growing families and guests.

The principal bedroom benefits from a newly refurbished en-suite, with a large shower, creating a private retreat. Three further double bedrooms offer comfortable, versatile accommodation to suit family life at every stage.

A large family bathroom (a recent addition) brings a real boutique, spa-like feel—perfect for busy mornings and relaxed evenings alike.

Outside, the private, south-facing garden is made for enjoying the best of the seasons, with a patio finished in Italian porcelain tiles for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden also benefits from mains lighting to both the patio and a separate seating area, plus a shed with mains electricity—ideal for storage, hobbies or a small workshop.

To the front, a detached garage, with a remote-control electric garage door, and private driveway, provides exceptional practicality. There is parking for up to five cars (plus one in the garage) and has a dedicated EV charging point (7.5KW). The home also features twenty-three solar panels on the south-facing roof, helping to keep running costs impressively economical.
