This substantially extended detached family home is set on a favourable plot within the sought-after Stainmore Drive development in Great Lumley. With extensive off-street parking to the front and an impressive southerly-facing garden to the rear, the property combines practical family living with open countryside views and a contemporary interior.
Individually designed with generous extensions to both the ground and first floors, the accommodation is ideally suited to family buyers who value space, light, and versatility. The rear of the property is particularly striking, where a twenty-foot refitted kitchen, a bright breakfast room, and a vaulted garden room combine to create a superb open-plan living area. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cream units, complemented by wooden worktops and integrated appliances including a range-style cooker, while the addition of a large Velux skylight and large window ensures the room is filled with natural light and views over the garden and field.
The lounge and dining room extend to over twenty-six feet and feature a bay window, creating another excellent family and entertaining space. From here, access is gained to the garden room, which adds a further sixteen feet of living space beneath a vaulted ceiling and enjoys views over the garden. The ground floor also includes a welcoming entrance lobby and hall, together with a cloakroom and WC.
On the first floor, the property offers four double bedrooms, the principal of which has the benefit of an en suite shower room. The family bathroom is of generous proportions and features a large spa bath, creating a space designed for relaxation as well as functionality. An integral garage, gas central heating via a modern Baxi combination boiler, uPVC double glazing, and a fitted alarm system complete the specification. Externally, the property has well-kept gardens to both the front and rear, with the rear garden enjoying a private, level, and southerly-facing aspect, ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Location:
Stainmore Drive forms part of a popular modern estate within the village of Great Lumley, a community that offers a range of local amenities including village shops, a post office, and its own primary school. The surrounding countryside provides attractive walking routes, and the area has a welcoming, semi-rural character while still being close to major transport links.
Just a short drive away is Chester-le-Street, a bustling market town offering a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The town is also home to Riverside Park and the Durham County Cricket Ground, providing both outdoor recreation and sporting attractions. Families will appreciate the excellent choice of schools in the area, including the highly regarded Park View School in Chester-le-Street, along with access to further educational opportunities in nearby Durham City.
Great Lumley is particularly well placed for commuting. The A1(M) is easily accessible, linking the village with Durham, Washington, Sunderland, Gateshead, and Newcastle upon Tyne. Chester-le-Street railway station offers direct connections to Newcastle, Durham, York, and London, while Newcastle International Airport is around half an hour by car. This combination of strong transport links, local amenities, and a thriving community makes Great Lumley an excellent choice for families seeking both convenience and quality of life.
