4 bedroom detached house for sale

Glenmoor Farm was believed to have been originally constructed in the 19th century and was purchased by our client in 1994. Since that time the farm has been extensively renovated and rebuilt with new walls and roofing. The property reached high acclaim by Durham County Council with a City of Durham Trust 2001 architectural commendation, as well as an environmental design award for quality of craftsmanship by Durham County Council in 2002. This stunning farm has been separated into two properties - The Byre and building plot with planning permission and The Farmhouse. Truly a credit to its current owner viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate this quality accomodation on offer.

Additional information

The design and appearance of these properties is extremely impressive with beautiful National Trust coloured woodwork to the exterior, contrasting very well with handmade bricks, pointed stonework and pantiled roof. Two properties are being made available with the division of the original dwelling - The Byre and building plot with planning permission, and The Farmhouse. Both properties front onto the picturesque village High Street overlooking the green and are at the heart of this friendly community, to the north east of Durham City. The combination of honey-coloured stone, red brick and attractive green paintwork make for two beautiful homes with superb architectural features. Walled gardens and private access ensure that much of the properties remain hidden and secure, with closed circuit television cameras and comprehensive alarm systems for added peace of mind. The properties boast many unique and impressive features with exposed timber in abundance, double height ceilings, stonework and stunning areas of glazing. The success of their modernisation lies in how the space has been enhanced to create amazing homes that incorporate the unique features of their original use.
