Description
An exceptional and incredibly rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a prime building plot within the distinguished private grounds of a magnificent period manor house in Fernhill, Durham. This offering presents a discerning buyer with the chance to create a truly bespoke, individual residence, perfectly tailored to their exact specifications and desires.
The plot benefits significantly from outline planning permission already being granted, streamlining the initial stages of your self-build project. The approved plans allow for a generous floor area of up to 4,220 square feet, thoughtfully distributed over two storeys. This substantial footprint provides ample scope for a magnificent family home, designed with modern living in mind, yet harmoniously integrated into its historic surroundings. The proposed dwelling includes four spacious bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms, alongside a versatile reception area, ensuring comfort and luxury for all occupants.
One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its enviable location. While enjoying a serene, rural outlook, the plot remains remarkably close to the vibrant heart of Durham city centre. This provides the perfect balance of peaceful country living with convenient access to the city's extensive amenities, including its renowned university, historic cathedral, diverse shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. Commuting is made easy, with excellent transport links nearby.
Privacy is a genuine feature here, with mature trees screening much of the plot's boundary to create a secluded and tranquil setting for the garden beyond. This natural screening, combined with the position within Fernhill's grounds, gives future residents a strong sense of seclusion while remaining just a short drive from the centre of Durham City.
This guide price of £700,000 reflects the unique nature and significant potential of this offering. It is an ideal prospect for those who have always dreamed of designing and building their own home, without the usual complexities of securing initial planning consent. The existing outline permission provides a solid foundation, allowing you to focus on the architectural details and interior design that will make this house truly your own.
Opportunities like this, combining a prestigious location, substantial approved build area, and the freedom to create a custom home, are few and far between. We highly recommend an early viewing to fully appreciate the scope and potential of this remarkable building plot. This is more than just land; it is the canvas for your future dream home in one of Durham's most desirable settings.
