A rare 4 Bedroom Detached Country House nestled within a quiet and secluded corner of Escomb Village, with an impressive 11.9 Acre plot complete with stables, stable yard and outbuildings. The property has a delightful country charm constructed from traditional stone and set behind grand electric gates to the front aspect, beyond which you’ll discover a generous gravelled courtyard with space for multiple vehicles. A detached double garage with electric doors sits centrally opposite the main house to the right of the courtyard. In the far corner the road sweeps up to a large stable yard and stables, ideal for equestrian lovers. The entire property enjoys full high quality CCTV throughout and security system, inclusive of land and stables.

To the rear of the property there’s a wealth of land that accompanies the property, which currently plays host to horses and a small range of small holding animals, complimented by outbuildings which are supplied with electric. The 11.9 Acre plot enjoys the River Wear naturally wrapping around the rear parameter, which the property owns the fishing rights to. Immediately to the rear of the property you’ll find a landscaped garden with a blend of lawn and stone patio with hot tub, which is ideal for entertaining.

As you enter the property via the main double door entrance from the courtyard you’re welcomed into a spacious light filled snug, with stunning oversized white tiles flowing underfoot throughout seamlessly running through the entire ground floor. Ceiling spotlights illuminate the space of an evening.

To the right of the snug a doorway leads into a well-proportioned office, with a large window overlooking the courtyard. Off the snug to the rear you’ll discover an expansive and impressive grand central hallway with half height white wooden panelling, glazed internal doors, and modern grey walls. A white spindle staircase flows up to a gallery first floor balcony with a soft grey carpet as you ascend. The hallway forms the central hub which services all of the ground floor spaces. The hallway is complimented by a beautifully finished guest washroom.

Off the hallway to the right you’ll find a huge family kitchen with a multitude of fitted units wrapping around three of the outer walls finished in pale subtle grey with contrasting black granite worktops and gloss grey metro tile splashback behind the cooker. A large window to the rear looks out across the beautiful private landscape with a large breakfast table located just in front creating a delightfully relaxing place to sit and soak up the views with a cup of tea. The kitchen enjoys a beautiful butler sink and oversized freestanding black range cooker with multi-ring hob with matching extractor hood. The kitchen is complimented by a spacious utility & laundry room with a bank of matching fitted units and black granite worktop with a second butler sink. Beyond the utility to the rear is a boot room with access to the rear patio via a side door. Within the utility to the left is a long wet room fully tiled throughout with a modern matt black wall mounted shower to one end, a matt black floating toilet to the opposite end and a wall mounted modern sink in the centre.

Completing the ground floor to the left of the hallway you’ll discover a full aspect living & dining room with a central feature entertainment wall with modern integrated fire and TV. The rear of the living room flows into a large conservatory via full height glazed double doors with stunning views across the fields and a side door leading out onto the stone patio. The living room and conservatory are beautifully flooded with natural light.

As you ascend the white spindle staircase, you’re welcomed onto a vast first floor landing with gallery balcony and a large window to the rear overlooking the fields and river. The first floor landing services 3 large double bedrooms and a generously sized family bathroom, in addition to the second floor loft conversion which delivers a further bedroom.

The family bathroom is extremely spacious with natural tone tiled flooring and a traditional white suite with feature freestanding roll top slipper bath to the rear.

Bedroom one is a well-proportioned double bedroom to the front aspect with a large window overlooking the courtyard entrance, laminate flooring underfoot and fitted wardrobes spanning the rear wall. Bedroom two is even bigger still, currently utilised as a nursery with a soft grey carpet, complimented by a spacious ensuite bathroom with a feature freestanding roll top bath and a herringbone floor. Bedroom two has a large window to the rear with beautiful views over the land.

The Master bedroom completes the first-floor accommodation with an indulgent amount of space on offer. The main bedroom area is large with fitted sliding wardrobes spanning the rear wall and wooden panelling runs behind the bed. Within the main bedroom area you’ll discover an ensuite shower room with a modern monochrome geometric pattern tile on the floor. What was originally another double bedroom has been linked with the Master suite to create a large walk-in dressing room, but could easily be returned to a 5th bedroom. Again you’ll find a large window within the Master bedroom with stunning views over the fields and river beyond.

A section of the loft has been converted with a staircase leading you up from the centre of the first floor landing to a generously sized double bedroom, which is complimented by another ensuite shower room.

This is an impressive detached country house with a wealth of possibilities, an array of out buildings and an expanse of private land. It’s a rare opportunity to own a substantial plot of land within a beautifully idyllic setting.
