5 bed detached house for sale

Burn Lane, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham DL5

Hidden away at the end of a tree-lined drive behind electric gates, The Bryn is an individually built five-bedroom home set in approximately one acre of mature gardens and woodland. The grounds give the house a remarkable sense of privacy for somewhere so close to Newton Aycliffe town centre. A separate bungalow within the grounds adds further space and scope to make the property your own. The main house is arranged over three levels, with three reception rooms that give family life and entertaining their own spaces. On the lower ground floor, the generous dining room has a feature fireplace and two sets of glazed doors opening onto the terrace. The adjoining fitted kitchen has contrasting Fisher & Paykel cabinetry, a built-in breakfast nook, under floor heating and a separate utility room. On the ground floor, a second living room has a wide picture window framing the lawn and mature planting. The principal suite is a standout, with fitted wardrobes, French doors opening onto the garden, a large dressing room and an en suite with twin basins and a walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms share a stylish four-piece family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. The upper floor is home to the spacious main lounge, where a bank of windows looks out into the trees and a multi-fuel burner sits within a striking green-tiled fireplace. Two further bedrooms complete this level, one with its own en suite shower room. The gardens wrap around the house, with open lawns, patios, a tucked-away hot tub area and a covered barbecue area with adjoining decking for outdoor dining. Beyond the more formal garden areas lies an extensive woodland garden. The gated driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, and a separate brick-built outbuilding offers additional storage. The separate bungalow would benefit from updating and currently has a functioning kitchen and bathroom alongside six further rooms. Its internal stud partitions offer scope to rethink the layout, subject to any necessary approvals. Despite its secluded setting off Burn Lane, The Bryn is close to Newton Aycliffe's town centre shops, cafés and everyday services. The A167 and A1(M) at Junction 59 provide convenient road links, and town centre bus services connect to Darlington and Durham.
