Thisuldome Manor

Seldom does the opportunity arise to acquire an imposing detached property situated within extensive grounds and in the sought-after hamlet of Iveston.

This modern mansion could not occupy a better site situated in around 7 acres of beautiful formal gardens, a stable block, paddock, tennis court, and triple garage. Accessed by aluminium gates opening onto a splendid, gravelled courtyard, this magnificent stone-built property is impressive to say the least and offers sensational open views of the surrounding countryside and towards nearby Lanchester from its elevated position.

For the equestrian enthusiast, the property offers huge potential to extend the existing facilities subject to the necessary consents.

Constructed in the last 20 years, the property has been redesigned and modernised to an extremely high standard by the current owners, offering elegant reception rooms, traditional style marble fireplaces and luxury high quality fixtures, fittings, bathrooms, and kitchens. The stunning entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the property with its generous proportions and grand sweeping central staircase. A tastefully appointed formal dining room/family office with superb fireplace is complemented by an elegant lounge, flooded with natural light from large windows and French doors leading to the rear sun terrace. Further entertaining space is offered in the inviting lounge/cinema room and generously proportioned games room, which features a modern bar and French doors access to the formal gardens and sun terrace.

The breakfasting kitchen is located to the rear of the property and has been recently fitted with a contemporary range of units with built-in NEFF appliances, as well as a central island and double doors leading into a superb breakfasting conservatory overlooking the gardens. To complete the ground floor accommodation there is a gym with sauna as well as a large utility room with fitted units and separate cloakroom with WC.

The sweeping staircase leads to an impressive galleried landing which in turn provides access to the five majestic double bedrooms offering exquisite living accommodation. The sensational master bedroom to the rear of the property benefits from an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. A further two bedrooms also have dressing areas and en-suite facilities, with the fourth- and fifth-bedrooms having outlooks to the rear and front respectively.

The house itself extends to an impressive 4822 sq ft of GIA excluding the detached triple garage and stable block.

Externally
Thisuldome is accessed via gates leading to a gravelled courtyard and triple garage with parking for numerous vehicles and a central island for turning.

Magnificent formal gardens and grounds surround the property. Mainly laid to lawn, the gardens also offer a magnificent, paved sun terrace to the rear with a south westerly aspect ideally suited to alfresco dining and entertaining. The gardens lead down to a stable block with 4 lose boxes with access to good quality grazing land and tennis courts. The paddock stretches to over 4 acres, making it ideal for equestrian use.

Iveston has always been regarded as one of the best locations to live in the area offering an attractive semi-rural village which lies a short distance from Lanchester amidst beautiful countryside. The old railway line, now known as the Lanchester Valley Walk, runs between Consett and Durham where it links at each end with a further network of other disused railways and tracks for walking and cycling and recreational use. At the Consett end the footpath links to the C2C cycle route, an award-winning national cycle route stretching from Whitehaven and Workington in the Northwest of England to Sunderland or Tynemouth in the Northeast. The elevated position of the village offers stunning views and a quiet county road for access.

Whilst situated in the country, access throughout the region is excellent with the nearby A691 providing ease of access to the historic city of Durham (10 miles) and to Lanchester (2 miles) Newcastle city centre and the International airport are only 16 and 18 mile away respectively and the mainline train station in Durham provides access further afield.

Nearby Leadgate and Consett offer a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational services while the historic, cathedral city of Durham, which is very accessible, provides comprehensive professional, cultural, educational and recreational facilities. For schooling Lanchester and Consett offer a choice of primary and secondary schools. There are also excellent private schools available nearby in Durham and Newcastle.
