Property Description

Five-Bedroom Executive Family Home | Westhouse Avenue, Durham
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this impressive five-bedroom executive family home occupies a desirable position within an exclusive residential development, conveniently located close to Durham City and a number of highly regarded schools.

Extensively extended and thoughtfully improved by the current owners, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. Presented in excellent, move-in-ready condition, the home has been neutrally decorated throughout and features a stylish combination of contemporary fixtures, fittings and finishes.

From the outset, the property makes an excellent impression, with its attractive external symmetry, neatly lawned front garden and topiary trees creating considerable kerb appeal. A welcoming pathway leads to a covered entrance, where a composite door opens into a grand entrance hallway. The central staircase provides access to the upper floors and sets the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the home.

The ground floor provides an exceptional amount of living and entertaining space, comprising four reception rooms. The formal lounge features a striking gas fire, while a separate snug provides an ideal space for use as a home office, playroom or additional sitting room. A versatile TV/garden room enjoys direct access to the rear garden via double doors, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The separate dining room is open to the contemporary fitted kitchen, which is well equipped with a range of modern units and benefits from a central island incorporating a breakfast bar. A useful utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an impressive en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a contemporary Jack and Jill en-suite shower room, while a well-appointed family bathroom completes this level.

The second floor provides two additional generous double bedrooms, together with a further Jack and Jill shower room, making this an exceptionally flexible home for larger families, guests or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.

Externally, the property benefits from a double-width block-paved driveway, providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a detached double garage. A gated side access leads through to the landscaped rear garden, which features lawned and paved areas, mature planting and a pleasant tree-lined backdrop. The garden offers a private and attractive outdoor setting, ideal for both family use and entertaining.

Westhouse Avenue is an exclusive development of just 28 detached homes, constructed to a high standard and specification. The development is situated just off Potters Bank, an established and highly sought-after residential area of Durham City characterised by individually designed detached properties.

The property is ideally positioned for access to Durham City Centre, which is only a few minutes' drive away and offers an extensive range of shopping, leisure, recreational and cultural amenities. The nearby A167 provides convenient road connections both north and south, while the surrounding area is well served by a selection of respected schools.
