4 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to reimagine a landmark detached home on the edge of Durham Downs.

Description

Constructed circa 1986, Kimberley House is a handsome mock-Georgian detached family home, one of only two individually designed properties set literally on the edge of the 400 acres of Durham Downs. Approached via secure electric gates, the house enjoys a generous plot with ample parking, an attached double garage, and beautifully orientated gardens.

The accommodation is centred around a spacious and welcoming reception hall, creating a strong sense of arrival. The principal reception rooms are well-proportioned and full of natural light. The drawing room is dual-aspect and incorporates an occasional dining area to the front, while a separate reception room connects conveniently to the kitchen / breakfast room, with a utility room beyond.

A particularly striking feature is the Palladian-style conservatory and former indoor swimming pool, now repurposed as an expansive and tranquil sitting area, with the pool currently covered to create a versatile leisure or entertaining space.

On the first floor, a gallery landing leads to four well-balanced bedrooms, served by three bathrooms. Both the principal bedroom and guest bedroom benefit from en-suite shower rooms, and all bedrooms enjoy differing aspects and outlooks.

Externally, the front garden is designed for low maintenance with decorative chippings, a central feature and water element. Pedestrian side access leads to the rear garden, which enjoys a sunny orientation and incorporates a terrace, lawn, summer house and additional garden store. The gardens are fully enclosed, offering privacy and security.

Location
