Situated in this appealing hamlet within easy reach of the A1(M) interchange in Chester le Street, 5 Houghton Gate is an absolutely outstanding, spacious period house enjoying far-reaching views over open countryside. The room sizes and character features retained in this beautifully appointed home really must be seen to be appreciated. With accommodation over three floors, the best views can be enjoyed from the 17ft attic room. The impressive dimensions of the house are instantly apparent upon entering the stunning 27ft lounge/dining room, which features an attractive brick fireplace housing a Hunter Herald 8 wood burning stove, stripped floorboards, double glazed French windows to the back garden and an oak staircase leading to the first floor. The 15ft kitchen has been refitted and includes integrated appliances. A conservatory has a pleasant outlook onto the walled, westerly-facing cottage-style garden. On the first floor are two large double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and stripped floorboards. The refitted bathroom includes a free-standing roll-top bath and a shower cubicle with a mains shower. From the landing, a staircase leads to a large attic room measuring approximately 17ft square, with large Velux windows providing views to both front and rear elevations. The lovely enclosed garden has access to the garage and parking area to the rear of the property. Rarely available to the market, this charming forever home is undoubtedly a house to fall in love with, and we strongly recommend early viewing.

This hugely appealing property occupies an attractive semi-rural position with far-reaching elevated views for many miles, yet Houghton Gate lies within only a few minutes’ drive of Chester le Street and the A1M interchange.

Houghton Gate is a small hamlet with outstanding elevated views over the adjacent countryside and the neighbouring Lambton Estate.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 20, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
