About this home
This beautifully presented and generously proportioned detached residence offers exceptional space and flexibility, making it ideal for modern family living. The property features three well sized bedrooms and three substantial and separate reception rooms, all enjoying a lovely rural setting with attractive open views across agricultural fields to the rear. Set within the highly regarded County Durham hamlet of Leamside, the location perfectly balances countryside charm with excellent connectivity. Situated approximately 1½ miles west of the A690 and West Rainton, the property provides convenient access to Durham City (around 5 miles) and Sunderland (approximately 9 miles), while Junction 61 of the A1(M) is just a short drive away, offering excellent regional links. The internal accommodation is both spacious and well planned, briefly comprising a welcoming entrance hall, formal dining room, and a modern refitted kitchen/breakfast room complete with integrated appliances and breakfast bar. There is a cosy snug sitting room, along with an impressively proportioned main lounge featuring a statement fireplace and patio doors opening onto the rear garden. Additional ground floor benefits include a cloaks/WC, a separate utility room, and a delightful inner hallway with a returning oak staircase leading to the first floor. To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a perfectly positioned seating balcony overlooking the open countryside, together with a stylish en suite shower room/WC. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom fitted with a corner bath, separate shower enclosure, WC, bidet, and matching twin “his and hers” wash basins. The property is currently equipped with an accessibility lift providing access from the lounge to the master bedroom, making it ideal for those seeking mobility assistance. This feature can be removed if not required. Externally, the home enjoys a walled forecourt garden to the front, while to the rear there is an enclosed lawned garden with patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the peaceful views. A double driveway to the side elevation, with gated access, provides ample off road parking. Occupying a quiet residential position on Pitt House Lane, the property benefits from immediate access to bridle paths and scenic walkways. Local leisure amenities are also close by, including the Cockerton golf and driving range complex, located less than half a mile away. Given the exceptional accommodation, delightful rural outlook, and highly desirable setting, early internal viewing is strongly recommended.
