Description

We are delighted to welcome to the market this exceptional four bedroom detached family home, occupying a truly enviable position on the edge of the highly sought after village of Great Lumley. Set within beautifully maintained gardens, Old Mill View enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside, offering a rare opportunity to embrace peaceful rural living without compromising on convenience. Durham City, Chester le Street and the A1(M) are all within easy reach, making this an ideal home for commuters seeking the perfect balance between countryside tranquillity and excellent connectivity.

From the moment you arrive, Old Mill View impresses with its charm, character and commanding setting. The home is filled with an abundance of traditional features, including exposed beams, solid timber doors and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with feature gas stove, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Large windows flood the property with natural light while perfectly framing the spectacular far reaching countryside views, allowing the stunning surroundings to be enjoyed from many of the principal rooms.

The spacious accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living. A welcoming reception hall with feature staircase provides an impressive first impression and leads to a generous living room centred around the striking inglenook fireplace. A separate family room offers additional flexible living space, ideal as a snug, playroom or home office, while the traditional kitchen, complete with an Aga, flows into a breakfast room enjoying uninterrupted views across the rear garden and open countryside.

To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from a walk in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, while three further well proportioned bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for families of all sizes.

Stepping outside, the property continues to impress. The enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established planting and enjoys uninterrupted views stretching across the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderful space to relax, entertain or simply take in the ever changing landscape. The landscaped side gardens feature mature hedging, lawned areas and gravelled pathways, all designed to complement the property's idyllic setting.

A substantial detached double garage provides extensive parking together with a useful room above and an adjoining tack room. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, the garage offers excellent potential to create a self contained annexe, making it ideal for multi generational living, guest accommodation or a home office.

Adding to its appeal, this superb home is available with no onward chain, promising a smoother and quicker transaction for prospective buyers. Due to the property being currently tenanted, viewings will commence from mid August.
