5 Bedroom house

This extended five-bedroom detached family home has been upgraded by the current owners to a very high standard, utilising quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The property benefits from practical modern additions, including underfloor heating across the entire ground floor, a recently installed boiler (2022), and an EV charger.

The flexible ground floor layout begins with a large entrance hallway that features a comprehensive range of fitted cupboards and hanging space, functioning as a highly practical boot room. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the majority of the ground floor, transitioning to an engineered oak herringbone in the lounge. The lounge features a wood-burning stove installed by Durham Stoves.

At the rear of the property is the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. This space benefits from four Velux windows and large sliding doors that open directly to the garden. The refitted kitchen includes modern PWS cabinetry, quartz worktops, and an island with a wrap-around butcher block breakfast bar. It is well-equipped with integrated appliances, including a Miele induction hob with extractor, double electric Miele ovens, a dishwasher, and a Quooker boiling water tap. A walk-in pantry provides additional storage alongside space for a freestanding fridge and freezer. A separate, spacious utility room features Mandarin Stone Terrazzo tiling - which is also utilised in the family bathroom and primary en-suite. The utility space includes floor units, an inset Belfast sink, quartz worktops, plumbing for laundry appliances, and space for a wine chiller. Completing the ground floor is a versatile playroom or study, featuring two Velux windows, fitted wooden storage units, and a sit-in picture window overlooking the garden.

The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which include fitted wardrobes. The primary bedroom features a dedicated dressing area and a high-specification en-suite shower room. This en-suite includes a solid wood double vanity with bespoke 'French Vikings' concrete basins, a walk-in cubicle with a mains-fed rainfall shower, a low-level WC, and a heated towel rail. The second bedroom also includes its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a mains-fed rainfall shower, a wash hand basin with vanity storage, and a low-level WC. The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and comprises a feature bath, a low-level WC, a wash hand basin, and a separate shower cubicle with a rainfall showerhead.

Occupying a mature plot, the property features well-maintained gardens to the front, side, and rear. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with planted borders. It is fully enclosed and not overlooked, offering a good degree of privacy. Flush sliding doors open from the kitchen to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space; the substantial paved patio provides a perfect area for outside dining and seating, alongside an additional secondary patio. To the front, a driveway provides ample off-street parking and access to the double garage fitted with an electric driven insulated sectional door.

Farewell Hall is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Durham City Centre, providing easy access to a wide range of shopping, recreational facilities, and amenities. The property is positioned adjacent to Durham High School and is in close proximity to various University and College buildings. The nearby A167 offers excellent transport links to both the North and South.
