The Laurels, Quebec, DH7

FABULOUS 5 BEDROOM DETACHED PROPERTY WITH 0.25 ACRES OF LAND AND PANORAMIC COUNTRY VIEWS!!!

A rare and exciting opportunity has arrived within a rural, tranquil and picturesque setting. Located on the outskirts of the sleepy village of Quebec in County Durham proudly sits this young 5 bedroom detached house with ample off street parking and double garage. Arguably in one of the best positions in the village, on a clear day the house boasts views as far as Penshaw Monument approx. 15 miles away (as the crow flies!)

We enter into a grand hallway with a solid oak staircase proudly seated with a central position leading to the first floor. The hallway, with it's large white tiled flooring, offers access to all the ground floor living spaces, which include an 18ft lounge with a large bay window and a separate 18ft dining room with a double set of UPVC French doors. A 22ft kitchen with breakfast area sits off to the right of the hallway, presented with a vast stylish range of kitchen units and ample work space, all complimented with a large central island boasting two, YES TWO breakfast bars! Not to mention the impressive range of modern kitchen appliances including a large electric cooker. A third reception room currently used as a snug, can be accessed via both the hallway and the kitchen. Between the kitchen and garage sits a utility area and WC. The utility consists of a work space with fitted units and accommodates for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The 20ft double garage has internal access via the utility space along with two electronic remote controlled, roller shutter doors for access to the main drive. The garage also has power and lighting as well as solar power storage (making the property more energy efficient), ample space for additional storage and accommodates for a customised oil fired combination boiler.

The first floor is just as impressive, starting with the large carpeted landing for access to five bedrooms, a family bathroom and built-in storage, finished with a large rear-facing window to capture amazing panoramic country views. Each bedroom can easily accommodate for a king-size bed while the master bedroom boasts the additional benefits of a large walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite with Amtico flooring and a rainfall style shower. While bedroom four also boasts a walk-in wardrobe, bedroom five is spacious enough to be a self-contained annex and also benefits from a large walk-in wardrobe and a larger stylish ensuite with decorative base lighting, an air stream bath and separate shower cubicle with a mixer shower. The main family bathroom is just as stylish, also boasting a bath and separate shower, both with air stream functions.

The front exterior offers a private outlook with high stone walls to the boundaries. The drive extends along the left hand gable end offering additional parking to the rear, which also offers a stunning garden setting with lovely country style features such as dry stone walls. Go through the gap in the high dry stone wall to the left of the property and you will arrive at the plot of the land included with the house, measuring approx. 0.13 of an acre (553sqm) and perfect for grazing or building additional outbuildings which may be subject to planning consent, but as you look around in almost every direction, you will be met with the breath-taking County Durham scenery this property has to offer.

Quebec Village is a small, quiet and picturesque village approx. 7 miles west of Durham City Centre. The village also sits a short drive from the larger villages of Langley Park, Esh and Lanchester for access to local amenities such as supermarkets and well-regarded, highly sought-after schools.
