Lodge Farm, Bearpark, Durham

Elite Estates are delighted to bring to the market this exceptional four-bedroom detached home located on the outskirts of Durham. Forming part of an exclusive development of contemporary properties, this impressive property combines high-specification finishes with a blend of traditional character and modern design, creating a truly distinctive family home.

The property occupies an extensive plot of land totalling just over two acres and benefits from a paddock. Internally, the accommodation begins with a bright and welcoming porch leading into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with modern wall units, elegant marble worktops and a practical breakfast bar. Stylish bi-fold doors open onto the rear garden, making this an ideal space for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous lounge, which also features bi-fold doors, allowing natural light to flood the room. A versatile office offers potential for use as a fourth bedroom, while a utility room and ground-floor WC complete the ground-floor layout.

An impressive reception hall, finished with oak flooring and a striking oak staircase, leads to the first floor. Here you will find three generously sized double bedrooms, including a master suite with a well-appointed en-suite shower room. All bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and enjoy picturesque views across the surrounding countryside. A stylish family bathroom with full-height tiling and a shower over the bath completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the mature rear gardens offer further outdoor space and stunning views, perfect for entertaining, featuring a large heated seating area, golf putting green and separate patio. In addition, there is ample parking provided via a block-paved driveway and a detached double garage with electric roller doors. Additionally, the property includes a sympathetically converted 17th-century byre, which has been fully insulated and upgraded with electrics. This versatile space is currently used for both socialising and as a home office.

Situated within an area of High Landscape Value and partly within the Green Belt, the property lies just three miles from the historic city of Durham. The panoramic views of Durham Cathedral and Castle, a designated World Heritage Site, are regarded as among Europe's finest architectural sights. The location also offers easy access to the Lanchester Valley Railway path along the River Browney, popular with walkers and cyclists.

Durham provides excellent amenities, including a pedestrianised shopping centre, a wide range of highly regarded state and private schools, and Durham University, consistently ranked among the UK's top institutions. Excellent transport links are available via Durham's intercity rail services, with national and international flights accessible from Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports.

Accessed via a private road, Lodge Farm is an exclusive bespoke development of just six homes, set in a highly sought-after location close to Durham city centre, with open views, fishing lakes and scenic dog walks nearby.
