The property has been maintained to an excellent standard by the current owners and is ready for a new purchaser to move straight into. Further benefits include LPG gas central heating, double glazing, ample off-road parking and a substantial double garage with additional attic storage.
One of the property's most distinctive features is the incredible outlook afforded by its elevated position. The surrounding landscape can be enjoyed from various rooms throughout the home, with the first-floor landing providing a particularly wonderful vantage point. The views stretch across miles of open countryside, creating a real sense of space, tranquillity and connection with the surrounding rural setting. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, relaxing in the evening or entertaining family and friends, this is a home where the outlook can be appreciated throughout the seasons.
Internal accommodation
The internal accommodation briefly comprises: an entrance hallway, cloakroom/WC and a useful utility room with fitted storage and a connecting door into the double garage.
The central hallway provides an impressive introduction to the home, featuring a sweeping staircase rising to the first floor, alongside striking floor-to-ceiling glazed windows and doors which provide an abundance of natural light and access to the garden.
At the heart of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and reception room, a fantastic space designed with both everyday family living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall, base and drawer units, complemented by a central island and integrated appliances, with ample space for a dining table. This is a wonderfully sociable area, offering plenty of room for family gatherings and entertaining guests.
The principal lounge is another particularly attractive reception space, featuring bi-folding doors opening out towards the rear garden and allowing the magnificent countryside views to take centre stage. A further reception room provides excellent flexibility and is currently utilised as an entertaining room with a pool table, although it could equally lend itself to a variety of alternative uses, including a second sitting room, games room or hobby space.
To the first floor, an impressive landing provides a wonderful additional seating area, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the property's breathtaking far-reaching views. From here, access is provided to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from their own private staircases leading to additional attic spaces. These versatile areas are currently arranged as dressing rooms, a further reception room and a home office, offering an excellent degree of flexibility to suit individual requirements. They would also make ideal additional private spaces for older children or teenagers.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from substantial walk-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, which is also accessible from the landing. The bathroom is fitted with a luxurious suite comprising a bath, separate shower, double wash hand basin, WC and bidet. A further separate shower room, fitted with a three-piece suite, completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot, with ample off-road parking providing access to the substantial double garage. The main garden is enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by established borders and a paved seating area. This provides a wonderful outdoor space in which to relax, entertain and, most importantly, enjoy the spectacular open countryside views that make this property so special.
Location
The property is situated within the popular and sought-after village of Westerton, enjoying a pleasant rural setting whilst remaining conveniently positioned for the neighbouring towns of Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor. Both towns offer an excellent range of shopping and leisure facilities, schooling and healthcare amenities, catering for the needs of everyday family life. Durham City Centre is also within comfortable driving distance, providing an extensive range of amenities together with major rail links to destinations across the country. For those travelling further afield, both Newcastle International Airport and Teesside International Airport are approximately an hour's drive away.
The location offers an appealing balance of countryside living and everyday convenience, making it particularly attractive to buyers seeking a peaceful village setting without compromising on accessibility to the facilities, amenities and transport links required for modern family life.
