"Rivers Edge", was built by our clients in 2008, on an enviable plot that measures over half an acre, next to the River Gaunless on one side and pleasant farm land the other. It was finished to a high standard, over two levels and incorporates everything that an executive family home should, both inside and out.

Approaching the house, there are wrought iron gates which open onto the gravelled driveway which provides ample parking for a number of cars. On one side, lies a generous double garage with storage in eaves, and next to that, additional parking for caravan/motorhome/ further vehicles.

Approaching the house itself there is a paved walkway leading to the storm porch before opening into the hallway of the house. On one side lies the first of three reception rooms which features a bay window and log burning stove as well as two sets of double doors that open into the formal dining room, which looks on the rear garden and provides access here through patio doors. on the other side of the hallway and at the front of the property lies a ground floor bedroom and adapted shower room/wc. Moving through the house, next is the kitchen which is the beating heart of this fab home. It is a very light and airy room, due to having a number of windows and open spaces but features a selection of units for storage, presented in light pastel green with wooden worktops and space for free standing appliances. This is supplemented with a utility room which provides space for the washing machine as well as further storage and bench space. To the front of the kitchen lies the final reception room which also features a log burning stove.

On the first floor there are five further bedrooms - the master and second bedroom both feature ensuite facilities and the final three bedrooms all share the main house bathroom/wc.

The gardens of the house are generous and make the very most of their location. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn so is perfect for playing with children and pets. The house has a large patio, which is a lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine or location for a hot tub. to the rear of the garden lies some additional land that is somewhat overgrown but once tamed, could provide additional garden space. Our client advises that a pathway leads from this space down to the river where it was once possible to sit at water level to observe the abundance of wildlife that comes to visit.

Holdforth mews is located just off the A688 Highway, so is great for anyone that needs swift transport connections to commute. That being said, due to the typography of the surrounding land, the spot is tranquil and pleasant. Bishop Auckland town centre is located a short distance away in one direction whilst the retail park at Tindale and all of its amenities lie in the other.
