Hunter Close, East Boldon, East Boldon

An imposing and substantially extended four-bedroom detached residence, occupying an enviable position at the head of a highly regarded cul-de-sac, set within magnificent mature gardens and offering an exceptional combination of space, character and location.

Originally constructed in the 1950s by renowned local builder Gordon Durham, celebrated for the quality and craftsmanship of his homes, the property has been thoughtfully extended to create a superb family residence with generously proportioned and versatile accommodation.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, complemented by a separate utility room and striking Crittall-style glazing connecting the kitchen with the conservatory. A beautiful sun lounge with vaulted ceiling takes full advantage of the garden outlook, while a substantial formal lounge, dedicated home office/study and ground-floor shower room/WC complete the excellent ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor provides four genuine double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the outstanding principal suite enjoying direct access onto a south-west facing balcony, commanding wonderful uninterrupted views across adjoining Green Belt – a fabulous place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

The outside space is equally impressive. The house stands within a generous, beautifully established and well-stocked mature garden plot, with stunning gardens extending to the front, side and rear. A variety of thoughtfully positioned seating areas provide idyllic spots for everything from morning coffee to evening drinks. To the front, a triple-width driveway provides ample off-street parking, while a double garage with remote-controlled doors sits to the side.

The location is particularly special, enjoying a delightful semi-rural setting close to Dipe Lane, yet remaining within easy reach of East Boldon Village centre, with its excellent selection of boutique bars, restaurants, cafés and shopping facilities. East Boldon Metro Station provides convenient connections into both Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland City Centre, making the property ideally placed for commuters.

Neighbouring Cleadon and Whitburn villages are also within easy reach, while Sunderland's magnificent coastline and beaches are readily accessible – providing the rare opportunity to enjoy village life, countryside and coast, while retaining excellent connections throughout the wider region.

A truly special family home in one of East Boldon's most desirable settings, offering substantial accommodation, beautiful gardens and a superb outlook. Early viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, quality and exceptional position of this outstanding residence.
