Bradley Hall is delighted to welcome to the market this delightful six-bedroom home situated on this sought after residential street. Seldom does a home of this nature come to the market and when they do, they are always popular due to the size of the houses, closeness to local schools and within walking distance of the city itself.
Occupying a good sized plot, access is provided off Potters Bank to a block paved entrance driveway offering parking to the front elevation as well to the rear courtyard. Although the original house dates back to the 1940’s the current owners have completely redesigned, extended and modernised the home to create a luxury modern mansion with great attention to detail and offering a high degree of finishes throughout.
Potters Bank has long been regarded as the best residential street in the city with some of the most exclusive and expensive houses in the area. It is easy to see why with the city centre less than 1 mile away, views of the cathedral from Observatory Hill, the mature tree lined roads and a good family pub close by.
The easy accessibility into the City as well as its easy communication links will make this property a most desirable purchase to any family. The house itself is conveniently located on the doorstep of the city which offers a fascinating mix of history, culture, shops, bars and restaurants. The Castle and Cathedral complex have been designated World Heritage Sites attracting tourism from around the world. The Gala Theatre adds another dimension to the city which also offers meandering river and city walks as well as hotels, swimming pools, golf courses all within close proximity. There are a number of well-regarded private and state junior and secondary schools including being in the catchment for Durham Johnston and St Leonards RC.
This imposing exclusive family home does not disappoint when viewed and offers several rooms on the ground floor off the grand reception hallway. The ground floor comprises of a living room with French doors leading to the dining room, a study with fitted storage and a superb kitchen/diner/family room with sliding shuttered doors provide outlook and access to the rear south facing gardens. There is a further utility room and two downstairs cloaks/W.C. An impressive staircase provides access to the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms, 3 en suites and a luxury family bathroom. Stairs with glass banister rail provide further access to the second-floor 5th bedroom suite with en suite, fitted storage and lounge area.
What is unusual for houses so close to the city centre is the abundance of parking this property has. Not only is there a large, paved visitor parking area to the front but also an extensive private driveway accessed from a covered carport to the rear that allows additional parking and leads to the double detached garage. Above the garage is a further bedroom with ensuite and lounge area, ideal for additional private visitor space or teenager/elderly parent’s private residence.
The garden enjoys a good size lawn which is south facing as well as a paved sun terrace with open access to the house proving a great barbeque and entertaining area.
Gates from the carport separate the front and rear drives and provide a high degree of seclusion and privacy to the rear. To the front the brick boundary wall has retained its planted borders and adjacent to the block paved courtyard parking area.
