5 bedroom detached house for sale

Outstanding architect designed residence

Derwent View is an outstanding property located in a prestigious and historic corner of the Tyneside Durham border. An area that is quiet and picturesque, it feels far from the madding crowd yet is within convenient access to the region’s primary metropolitan centre. It is this perfect balance that makes it the ideal five-bedroom home for working in the city and escaping to the country. With a primary school rated as providing “outstandingly inclusive education”, it is a popular choice for families, while it’s setting in beautiful countryside, strong community feel and good links to main centres also make it an excellent option for retired professionals. Situated between the affluent villages of Hamsterley Mill and Ebchester, with its important Roman fort, as its name suggests the property looks towards the River Derwent.

Built in an elevated position, the main living accommodation is at garden level with access through French doors from the dining kitchen and family room directly onto an outdoor eating area at the rear and garden beyond. The kitchen is tastefully fitted with granite worktops, a range cooker, Belfast sink and American-style fridge freezer. The dining room and dual aspect lounge are also on this floor, their position on the middle level giving lovely panoramic views of the Derwent Valley from the front of the house. Access to the property from the front is via the lower ground floor where a very nice guest room benefits from an en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, perfect for a teenager or live-in nanny. There is also a gym, utility room and internal access to the double garage on this floor. The second floor comprises a characterful master suite with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Protected by electric wrought iron gates, Derwent View is reached via a circular block paved drive to a very pleasant frontage and parking area. It is a property for gardening enthusiasts with extensive space at the rear comprising terraced lawns, a gravelled shrubbery and mature trees for added privacy in this lovely part of the region.
