House For Sale £750,000
Overview
Hillside is a truly stunning residence, set within an acre plot, with open views across miles of surrounding countryside. Built in the 1930’s by the Kenmar Bro’s, a local furniture manufacturer who specialised in high quality oak furniture during the early part of the 20th century. This is the first time Hillside has been on the open market for sale, with the current owners acquiring both the property and the furniture manufacturing premises in 1973. Rarely does a property of this calibre become available and prospective purchasers looking for a large family home will be pleased to know it is for sale with no onward chain.
Located on the outskirts of the semi-rural village Kirk Merrington, pleasantly positioned within approx. 7 miles from Durham City and 15 miles from Darlington.
Durham City provides access to its world renown University, an array of independent retail stores, restaurants as well as popular high street stores. It is a unesco World Heritage site with a Norman Cathedral and 11th Century Castle. Alongside Durham University, this property is ideally located for access to both private and public schools within County Durham, Darlington, and Barnard Castle. Darlington has an hourly express train line to London King’s Cross, whilst Teesside International Airport is only approx. 30min drive from Hillside.
County Durham has beautiful scenery including areas of outstanding natural beauty within Teesdale/Weardale. The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland can all be accessed within approx. 1hr 30min drive and in addition the coast can be accessed within an hour. There are over 30 Golf courses within a 20mile radius providing access to some of the most prestigious courses in the North of England.
The property occupies an elevated position within an acre of mature tree lined gardens complete with 100m tarmac driveway leading from the private, gated entrance at the roadside. Filled with character and with traditional features throughout it does require an internal viewing to truly appreciate this properties potential.
