Description

Fernhill Manor
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding city manor house, Fernhill Manor enjoys the best of both worlds, and then some.

Set on the north western edge of the sought after Crossgate Moor area of Durham City, Fernhill is close enough to enjoy everything the city has to offer, yet far enough removed to feel like a private slice of rural heaven. The house sits within private landscaped gardens, with rolling countryside beyond adding to its exceptional sense of seclusion.

Internally, Fernhill strikes a masterful balance between old world elegance and contemporary comfort. Exquisite period detailing runs throughout, including feature fireplaces, wood panelled doors and an Aga set into an exposed brick chimney breast, while large wood framed windows flood the generously proportioned rooms with natural light.

Ground Floor
A porch opens into a spacious reception hall with a stunning mosaic tiled floor, from which most of the ground floor accommodation flows. This comprises a living room and a formal dining room, each with a feature fireplace and a large bay window overlooking the front of the property; a cloakroom; a family room with a feature fireplace housing a wood burning stove; a private office; and a beautifully appointed country style kitchen fitted with an Aga, a central island offering informal dining space, and a Belfast sink. A bespoke utility room and separate laundry lead off the kitchen.

First Floor
The spacious upstairs landing gives access to a luxurious family bathroom and five double bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bathroom. One bedroom is currently arranged as a games room and houses a full sized snooker table. With windows to three aspects, it enjoys stunning panoramic views over the gardens and the countryside beyond.

Grounds
The private landscaped grounds are laid mainly to lawn, cultivated vegetation, a large patio area, and a courtyard garden. Access is via a private gated drive, discreetly screened by a thick belt of mature trees and shrubs, with open countryside to the west and the A167 to the east, beyond which lies further beautiful countryside.

Enhancement potential is further bolstered by outline planning permission for a rear orangery and a substantial side garage, offering an excellent opportunity to expand the living space.

The Cottage
In addition to the main house, there is a second property, The Cottage, ideal for guests or family who want to be close by without sharing the same roof. It offers a stylish kitchen with space for a dining table and a generous living room on the ground floor, plus a well proportioned bedroom with ensuite shower room upstairs.

In all, Fernhill Manor offers exceptional, luxurious accommodation in a highly private setting, within easy reach of Durham City.
