A truly rare opportunity to purchase Hemmel House, a unique and expansive residence set in the traditionally sought-after village of Waterhouses, just a few miles from Durham. Sitting on a magnificent plot with a stream running through the garden, this property offers a wonderful blend of space, privacy and lifestyle.
The accommodation is exceptional, featuring a bright and spacious kitchen overlooking the garden, a large living room with feature fireplace, a sizeable dining room, utility, downstairs WC, inner lobby with stair access to the annex area, and a large heated swimming pool with sauna, shower room, and boiler room – all benefitting from solar panels which contribute to energy efficiency and generate income.
Upstairs, the main landing leads to four large double bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a stunning family bathroom. The annex section of the home is ideal for extended family or guests, with a separate lounge (currently a cinema room), a further double bedroom, and another en-suite.
Externally, there is a generous driveway, a large double garage with two storeys offering great versatility, and expansive gardens with several seating areas offering a real sense of tranquillity and country living, yet still close to all the amenities of Durham City.
Waterhouses offers a semi-rural lifestyle while still enjoying excellent transport links to Durham and surrounding areas. Local amenities include a primary school, countryside walks, and easy access to shops and services in nearby villages such as Esh Winning and Langley Park. The area is popular with families and professionals alike, seeking more space without losing convenience.
This property truly must be seen to be appreciated.
