Description

An exceptional opportunity awaits to acquire this beautiful five bedroom stone built residence, offering the rare luxury of an indoor heated swimming pool and set in a truly idyllic semi rural location in Hamsterley Mill. Built by the current owners in 2022 as a bespoke self-build, this outstanding home offers a unique blend of elegance, charm and modern design, all nestled within approximately two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and accompanied by an additional 3.4 hectares of woodland. With direct access to the renowned Derwent Walk, the breath-taking setting offers tranquillity, and nature on your doorstep.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance porch and a grand reception hall featuring a striking oak staircase. The formal lounge is both stylish and inviting, complete with bi-folding doors that open out onto the gardens, allowing natural light and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. A contemporary fireplace serves as the focal point of this elegant room, offering a warm and comfortable ambience all year round.

The heart of the home is the impressive open plan dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed with family living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen boasts a family area, a range of beautiful fitted cabinets, granite and wood worktops, and a range of integrated appliances. This space flows effortlessly into the garden, creating the perfect environment for gatherings, everyday living, and al fresco dining.

Additional highlights on the ground floor include a utility/laundry room, a stylish guest WC and a dedicated home office ideal for remote work. The property also features eco technology, including solar panels and solar thermal panels that help to heat the home.

Upstairs, you have an impressive five piece family bathroom and five double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms feature dressing areas and have shared access to a shower room, which can also be accessed from the main landing area. The principal bedroom suite boasts a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom.

The pool area is a standout feature, enjoying garden views and featuring a log burner that also heats the pool water, and the added convenience of a stylish shower room.

Ample off road parking is provided by the detached double garage and expansive driveway. This combined with the beautifully maintained grounds, private woodland, and pool area combine to create an oasis for relaxation, recreation, and family life.

Rarely does a home of this calibre and setting come to the market. This is a remarkable opportunity to secure an exquisite home in a truly outstanding location. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and quality this unique property has to offer.
