Full-service property firm, Bradley Hall, shares their property of the week exclusively with Portfolio North.
Introducing a beautiful period property in the historic city of Durham.
This detached mansion, located just off Quarryheads Lane, offers an array of impressive features, including a spacious secure parking area for multiple vehicles and a double garage. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced and modernised this home, originally built around the 1930s, resulting in over 3500 sq ft of luxurious internal living space.
Nestled amidst picturesque fields, the expansive rear garden offers a serene retreat, despite being less than 1 mile away from the bustling city centre, as well as the iconic castle and cathedral complex.
Step inside the property and be greeted by a central reception hallway that provides access to the entire ground floor. French doors from the hallway open onto a delightful rear sun terrace. The formal lounge boasts a striking gas integral fire and two sets of concertina doors leading to the rear garden.
The heart of this magnificent home lies in the living room, breakfast/dining area, and kitchen, featuring a range of stylish units and fully integrated appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find a utility room with a cloakroom/wc and access to the rear garden and double garage. Completing the ground floor is a spacious office with a bay window, offering versatile usage options.
On the first floor, three generously sized bedrooms await, one of which includes an en suite facility, along with a luxurious family bathroom. The principal master suite is an indulgent haven, featuring a fully fitted walk-in dressing area adorned with full-length wardrobes and a luxurious en suite shower room.
Additional stairs from the hallway lead to the second floor, where two more bedrooms and a shower room await. This floor also provides an abundance of loft storage space. The fifth bedroom offers breathtaking views of the cathedral from its window seat and comes with fitted wardrobes.
Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds boast a tiered south-facing garden, complete with the perfect outdoor seating area. Mature borders and trees provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
The full-length paved sun terrace at the rear offers an ideal spot for soaking up the sun. The raised seating areas, planted shrubberies, covered shade seating areas, and a large detached wooden garden room all contribute to the enchanting ambiance of this exquisite home.
Not only does this property offer easy access to the city centre, but it also benefits from excellent transportation links, making it an irresistible choice for families. Durham City itself is brimming with history, culture, shops, bars, and restaurants.
The Castle and Cathedral complex, designated as World Heritage Sites, attract visitors from around the globe. The Gala Theatre adds another layer of entertainment, while scenic river and city walks, hotels, swimming pools, and golf courses are all within close proximity.
Additionally, the area boasts several reputable private and state junior and secondary schools, including Durham Johnston and St. Leonard’s RC, making it an ideal location for families. Durham School, a neighbouring institution, further enhances the appeal of this home, along with the nearby university and the highly regarded Whitechurch Pub/Restaurant, all within walking distance.
