Description

Occupying an elevated position with far-reaching views in a sought-after location, this immaculately presented detached home offers exceptional space, beautifully established gardens and a superb layout for family living and entertaining. Situated on North Close, the property combines character and charm with stylish, thoughtfully arranged accommodation, complemented by extensive parking and an impressive garden outbuilding housing its very own ‘Bertie's Bar'. Previously arranged as a four-bedroom home, the property has been reconfigured by the current owner to provide three particularly generous bedrooms, retaining the substantial proportions of its former layout. The result is a wonderfully spacious home with well-balanced accommodation and a welcoming feel throughout. An entrance vestibule opens into a spacious reception hall, where a feature fireplace and attractive staircase create an immediate sense of character. The large lounge provides an inviting space to relax, with generous windows allowing plenty of natural light and a multi-fuel burner forming a cosy focal point. The multi-fuel burner can also run the central heating, providing an alternative to the gas combi boiler. At the heart of the home is the impressive family dining kitchen, which flows through to the garden room to create a sociable and practical space for everyday life. The kitchen features attractive hand-made oak cabinetry complemented by granite work surfaces throughout, together with a central island providing additional preparation space and breakfast seating. A superb range of appliances includes two NEFF ovens with Slide & Hide doors, a NEFF induction hob, a large warming drawer and an integrated NEFF dishwasher. A striking vaulted ceiling with roof windows enhances the sense of space and natural light. There is ample room for a family dining table, while the adjoining garden room provides a lovely additional sitting area overlooking the rear garden, with bi-fold doors opening onto the patio. The flowing layout makes this an ideal setting for family life and entertaining. A separate study offers a useful space for working from home or an additional reception room to suit individual needs. Completing the ground floor is a substantial utility area, arranged in two sections and incorporating a cloakroom/WC. To the first floor, an attractive landing leads to three large bedrooms and a spacious, beautifully appointed family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure. The principal bedroom benefits from a generous en-suite shower room, featuring a large walk-in shower and twin wash basins. The gardens are a particular highlight, with generous grounds to both the front and rear. The extensive rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged with sweeping lawns, established trees, colourful planting, winding pathways and a choice of seating areas, creating a wonderful setting for relaxing, gardening and spending time with family and friends. Adding something truly special is the garden outbuilding, with ‘Bertie's Bar' occupying the front section and a functioning kitchen to the rear—an excellent addition for summer gatherings and entertaining at home. To the front, a spacious driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles. North Close offers an appealing village setting surrounded by countryside, with the shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities of Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland within easy reach. Durham City is also accessible, making the location an attractive choice for those seeking village surroundings while remaining connected to neighbouring towns. A superb home offering outstanding space, immaculate presentation and exceptional gardens in a highly desirable location. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the size, setting and quality of accommodation on offer.
