5 bedroom detached house for sale

There are three bathrooms, providing comfort and practicality for family life or visiting guests. The private garden offers a pleasant outdoor space, while dedicated parking adds everyday convenience. Some of the additional rooms lend themselves to multiple uses (e.g., playroom, office, study, snug, dressing area).

Inside, the property showcases its original chapel architecture, with striking arched windows and impressive ceiling height creating a unique sense of character. Modern comforts have been thoughtfully integrated, including underfloor heating, solar panels, an electric car charging point, and Bluetooth/smart-home technology. The bespoke kitchen and high-quality finishes complement the impressive open-plan living space, while the mezzanine balcony, an architectural highlight that is only subtly captured in current images, adds an elevated vantage point, a view over the reception and entrance area and enhances the overall sense of space.

Surrounded by local green spaces and scenic walking routes, the property sits in a spot that balances tranquillity with ease of access to amenities. Local schools are nearby, making it a practical option for families. Durham’s vibrant city centre, with its array of shops, cafés, and restaurants, is a short drive or a pleasant cycle ride away.

For public transport, the property is well placed. Durham railway station is easily reached in around 15 minutes by car or about 30 minutes by public transport. The station provides direct links to Newcastle in under 20 minutes and to London Kings Cross in about 3 hours, supporting both regional and national connections.

Local parks such as Wharton Park and the riverside walks along the Wear offer ample green space for outdoor activities. Everyday needs can be met on the local high street, while historic sites like Durham Cathedral provide culture and character close by.

This detached former church presents a rare opportunity to enjoy both peaceful surroundings and an exceptional blend of traditional charm and contemporary specification. Viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the setting and features of this distinctly styled property.
