4 bedroom house

This is a superb opportunity to acquire a detached barn conversion which oozes character and has the added benefit of an adjoining stable block, paddock land (2 acres or thereabouts) and arguably some of the best bridle paths for hacking out in the county Durham area.

Hallside is situated off a small country lane in truly rural location however accessibility and local convenience is still on your doorstep being less than 1km to the west of Coxhoe village centre. Within the village there are a good mix of local shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and public houses. There is also a medium size convenience store and all within proximity of J61 of the A1(M), the recently developed Amazon distribution centre and Durham City itself which is only 5 miles to the North.

A small tree lined driveway leads of the main access road and into the gravelled courtyard with parking for a number of vehicles. Adjoining the courtyard is the double stable block and tack room with further outbuilding providing another stable box, workshop, gym, and store. A short-gravelled path dissects the lawned front garden and provides access to the front glazed door and into the reception hallway with stairs to first floor. The inner hallway has cloaks/wc as well as access to the snug, dining room, living room, steps down to stunning family kitchen/breakfasting room and into a second inner hallway with shower room/wc, bedroom and second sitting room with stairs and access to a mezzanine room that can be used for a variety of uses. At first floor there are 3 further bedrooms (bringing the total to 5 bedrooms) and a family bathroom and storage.

The barn has been tastefully developed and converted by the current owners and as a result has retained its charm and character with exposed timber ceiling beams, panel wood doors, fully glazed arched windows with a southerly aspect, exposed rustic stone and brickwork internal walls as well as the essential woods burning stoves. The rustic character of the barn however should not be mistaken as old and the owners have manged to create a superb blend of old and new with fantastic contemporary fittings and kitchen essential for modern day living and in a home of this price and calibre.

This contemporary living and the rural location go very well together and the added benefit on ‘on site’ stabling for horses makes this house even more desirable for buyers with an interest in equestrian pursuits. The Coxhoe Hall Woods nature reserve is on the doorstep and provides old railways paths and off-road areas popular with cyclist, runners and for hacking out away from busy roads.

Seldon do homes become available that provides a great mix of modern day living whilst being in a truly country location with easy access around the area ideal for either city buyers who want a relax country home or buyers with equestrian interests that will benefit from the stabling and paddock land. As a result, we would strongly recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment.
