The Stables, West Herrington, Houghton-Le-Spring, DH4

Occupying a generous plot and offering an exceptional combination of space, style and practicality, this impressive five-bedroom detached family home is beautifully presented throughout and offers superb accommodation across two floors, together with a double garage, driveway and generous south-facing gardens.

The property is approached via a newly fitted Solidor front door, providing both a welcoming entrance and excellent security. Upon entering, the spacious reception hallway immediately sets the tone for the quality and attention to detail found throughout the home. Bright, airy and thoughtfully designed, the accommodation benefits from glazed internal doors which allow natural light to flow between the principal living spaces. The doors throughout the property are fitted with magnetic latches, adding a stylish and contemporary finishing touch.

The lounge spans the full length of the property, creating an impressive and wonderfully proportioned reception space. Beautiful wood flooring adds warmth and character and continues through the hallway, playroom and second bedroom, which is currently utilised as a study.

At the heart of the home is the sleek and spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed perfectly for modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen is finished with Porcelanosa tiling, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces and allowing an abundance of natural light into the room. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive retreat, benefiting from a dedicated dressing room and a stylish en-suite shower room, complete with Porcelanosa tiles and underfloor heating. The four remaining bedrooms are served by the beautifully appointed family bathroom. One of these bedrooms is located above the detached garage and is accessed via a separate staircase leading from the main first-floor landing, offering a private and versatile space away
from the principal bedroom accommodation. This versatile additional bedroom provides excellent flexibility and could be utilised to suit a variety of needs.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage. To the rear is a generous south-facing garden, thoughtfully landscaped to provide a superb space for both relaxation and entertaining. The garden incorporates a large lawn, composite decking and a porcelain tiled area to the bottom, creating a number of distinct outdoor seating and entertaining spaces. Offering generous proportions, versatile accommodation and a high level of specification throughout, this superb, detached home is ideally suited to modern family life.

The Stables occupies a desirable position within the sought-after West Herrington area,
offering a peaceful semi-rural setting while remaining within easy reach of Sunderland and the wider North East. The surrounding area provides a strong selection of local amenities, schools and everyday conveniences, while Herrington Country Park is just a short walk away, providing an exceptional outdoor amenity on the doorstep.

One of the largest parks in Sunderland, Herrington Country Park extends to almost 200
hectares beneath the iconic Penshaw Monument. Formerly the site of Herrington Colliery, the park has been transformed into an expansive green space offering an extensive network of walking and cycling trails, lakes, an adventure play area, skate park, Nordic walking routes and a variety of sculptures celebrating the area's industrial heritage. The park provides an outstanding setting for outdoor recreation, family days out and leisurely walks, whilst its open landscapes and views towards Penshaw Monument further enhance the area's semi-rural appeal.

The location also benefits from excellent leisure and health facilities, with David Lloyd
Sunderland situated nearby at Doxford Park. The well-equipped health club offers a
comprehensive range of facilities including a state-of-the-art gym, 25m indoor swimming pool, heated 20m outdoor pool and tennis courts, together with a wide programme of fitness classes and additional wellbeing facilities.

The development is particularly well placed for commuters, with straightforward access to the
A19, providing excellent links towards Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham and the surrounding areas. Sunderland City Centre is also readily accessible, while the wider regional road network makes travelling throughout the North East convenient.

The location benefits from a relaxed village atmosphere with local dining and leisure facilities nearby, including The Stables Pub & Eatery and The Stackyard. With its combination of open countryside, extensive parkland, excellent leisure facilities, strong transport connections and proximity to local amenities, The Stables offers an attractive setting for modern family living.
