Description

Elite Estates are proud to present this outstanding four-bedroom detached family residence, occupying an enviable position on the outskirts of Durham within the exclusive Lodge Farm development. Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, this beautiful home seamlessly combines timeless character with contemporary design, offering luxurious family living in one of the area's most desirable locations.
Set within approximately 2.5 acres, including 1.4 acre paddock, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic countryside views while remaining just minutes from Durham city centre. It also benefits from being within the catchment area for the highly regarded Johnson School, making it an ideal choice for families.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family space. Beautifully designed with contemporary wall units, elegant marble worktops and a central breakfast bar, this impressive room is the true heart of the home. Expansive bi-fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor living experience for entertaining and family life.
The kitchen flows effortlessly into a spacious lounge, again featuring bi-fold doors that flood the room with natural light while framing the stunning rural views. A versatile office provides the flexibility to be used as a fourth bedroom, alongside a practical utility room and ground-floor WC.
A striking reception hall with solid oak flooring and an impressive oak staircase leads to the first floor, where three generously proportioned double bedrooms await. The luxurious principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, while all bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and enjoy picturesque views across the surrounding countryside. A contemporary family bathroom with full-height tiling and shower over bath completes the first floor.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The beautifully landscaped rear gardens provide exceptional outdoor living space, complete with a large heated seating area, golf putting green and separate patio-perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests throughout the year.
A substantial block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage with electric roller doors.
A truly unique feature of this home is the sympathetically converted 17th-century byre, fully insulated and fitted with electricity. Currently used as a stylish entertaining space and home office, it offers endless potential as a gym, studio, games room or additional workspace.
Situated within an Area of High Landscape Value, with part of the grounds extending into the Green Belt, this exceptional property enjoys an idyllic rural setting just three miles from the historic city of Durham. The spectacular views towards Durham Cathedral and Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are widely regarded as among Europe's finest.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to the scenic Lanchester Valley Railway Path along the River Browney, offering superb walking and cycling routes, while nearby fishing lakes and picturesque countryside walks are right on the doorstep.
Durham itself offers an outstanding range of amenities, including a thriving pedestrianised shopping centre, excellent restaurants, highly regarded state and independent schools, and the world-renowned Durham University. Superb transport connections include direct intercity rail services together with convenient access to both Newcastle International Airport and Teesside International Airport.
Accessed via a private road, Lodge Farm is an exclusive development of just six individually designed homes, offering privacy, prestige and an unrivalled lifestyle in one of Durham's most sought-after locations.
