Valley Drive, Yarm

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this exceptional residence occupies a prime position on the prestigious Valley Drive, one of only a select few homes to enjoy direct riverside frontage. Held within the same ownership for over 45 years, it presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique property, offering immense scope for transformation into a striking, design-led Grand Designs calibre home. Planning permission was granted in October 2025 for the construction of both a two-storey and single-storey rear extension (reference 25/1100/FUL via Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council), further enhancing its outstanding potential.

In brief, the well maintained accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with fitted storage, access to a basement, W/C, a versatile ground floor room ideal as a playroom, study or fourth bedroom, and a separate utility room. Whilst beautifully cared for, the interior now offers an exciting opportunity for modernisation, allowing a purchaser to create a home tailored entirely to their own specification.

Stepping down, the property opens into a dining room, kitchen and an impressive lounge, all enjoying elevated views across the rear patio, established gardens and the River Leven beyond, creating a superb sense of space and connection to the outdoors.

To the first floor are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each with built-in storage. A tiled shower room serves bedrooms two and three, while the principal suite benefits from its own en-suite bathroom with shower over bath.

Externally, a lawned garden sits to the front, with a double width driveway leading to a double garage with electric roller door. The rear garden is undoubtedly the defining feature, offering a beautifully established setting that backs directly onto the River Leven. An extensive patio provides an lovely space for entertaining, while the mature garden, rich with trees, shrubs and a summer house, extends gracefully to the water’s edge. A private timber jetty and fishing rights further enhance the lifestyle offering, making this a truly special riverside home.

Ideally suited to a family seeking to add value and create a bespoke dream home, the property occupies one of the most sought-after and prestigious settings close to Yarm. Excellent transport links, including the A19, are readily accessible, while highly regarded local public and private schooling and the vibrant high street of Yarm, with its boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, are all within easy reach.
