Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase such a deceptively spacious detached family home situated in a quiet village and overlooking open farmland. The property has been massively refurbished and extended by our clients to create a substantial family home and has four reception rooms including the stunning 34ft long family room/dining room.

The property has a flexible floor plan which briefly comprises: entrance lobby, cloakroom with low level wc and wash hand basin, large reception hallway with stairs to the first floor, this area could easily be utilised as a study or additional reception room. The lounge is almost 24ft in length and has bay window to side and feature fireplace with inset wood burning stove and opens onto the large family room/dining room with windows to sides and rear, as well as four Velux windows allowing a wealth of extra light to flood through and two pairs of French doors opening onto the rear garden, this in turn opens through to a snug which then leads through to a large open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a substantial central island unit, a modern range of floor and wall units, inset sink drainer unit, space for a gas Range cooker with extractor fan over and plumbing and space for American style fridge freezer. The utility room has a large storage cupboard, as well as a bench unit with plumbing and space for washing machine and tumble dyer under. To the first floor is the landing area, four bedrooms, the main bedroom being double aspect with windows to side and rear, walk in dressing room, as well as an en suite shower room with a suite comprising low level wc, wash hand basin with cupboard under and double shower tray with wall mounted rainfall shower over. The second bedroom has an en suite with low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. The two further bedrooms are both doubles and there is a family bathroom with a suite comprising low level wc, wash hand basin, freestanding oval bath and a shower cubicle with mains fed wall mounted shower.

Externally, situated on a substantial plot, there is ample parking to the front on the block paved driveway which gives access to a detached double garage with two separate roller doors, light and power. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a large patio area for seating, as well as an area holding the hot tub. The whole of the rear garden is enclosed with solid fencing and is particularly private and not overlooked.

The property has 16 solar panels which returns approximately £3,000 per annum in tariff payments from the energy company. Furthermore the property has had commercial usage in the past and has at one point been a childrens home.

Rivendell occupies a pleasant semi rural position on the outskirts of Deaf Hill which is conveniently situated within a few minutes drive of the A(181) Highway which offers access to Durham City Centre and the A(19) Highway which provides good road links to Teesside and Wearside where there are comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities and amenities available.
