This remarkable five bedroom residence, dating back to the 1800's exudes timeless charm and character while offering the comforts of modern living and was purchased by the current owners in 2005. The property has been extensively and sympathetically renovated, including the addition of a magnificent orangery and has been greatly improved by the owners to create a beautiful gated family home in a much sought after location. The home retains many original period features and replacement sash windows throughout retain character - all seamlessly blended with stylish traditional finishes and in excess of 2600sqft.

Five reception rooms create an inviting flow through the property, with two multi-fuel burners to two of the rooms, with elegant proportions that highlight its historic grandeur. The kitchen/dining and family areas are designed for both everyday living and entertaining, thoughtfully enhanced with high-quality fittings, hand painted kitchen, whilst preserving the home's rustic authenticity.
There is a separate laundry room and an additional ground floor shower room.

Upstairs, five beautifully appointed bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, with the master bedroom complete with walk-in wardrobe. The modern family bathroom has been modernised to an exceptional standard, offering a luxurious retreat.

Externally the rear gardens with an abundance of fruit trees is perfect for socialising and entertaining and this magnificent dwelling combines heritage and sophistication, presenting a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home of significant character and enduring appeal. The large detached garage also provides a separate door to workshop/storage too.

Being situated close to the A690 and only four miles to the North East of Durham City the property offers excellent communication links throughout the area to Sunderland (7 miles), Newcastle upon Tyne (18 miles) and Teesside (20 miles). Despite the ease of reaching areas north, south, east and west this offers, the property itself feels very much part of the surrounding rural scene and boasts far reaching views across beautiful open countryside.

The property is in close proximity to Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf club & Spa.
