The Property
Abbey Mead is a beautifully appointed brick-built period property that has been updated and renovated to an exceptional standard with elegant interior décor and high specification fixtures and fittings. The property is tucked away on a picturesque and quiet street close to the centre of beautiful Durham, with doorstep access to all the amenities and cultural opportunities of the historic city including the magnificent cathedral and castle.
The front door opens to the inviting hall with access to the ground floor accommodation and stairs to the first floor. Solid wood flooring flows through the hall and into the two impressive reception rooms. The dining room sits to the front elevation with a lovely curved bay window and feature fireplace to one side. An abundance of natural light highlights the stylish neutral colour palettes. The stting room overlooks the gardens to the rear with the view framed by another bay window. Again, there is a feature fireplace and a relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen/breakfast room is the warm heart of the home. Great care and attention is apparent in every detail of the design. Striking white cabinetry is complemented by dark wood worksurfaces and traditional floor tiling in the kitchen area. A grand range cooker offers an eye-catching centrepiece. The room has ample space for a table and chairs for casual dining and there is an unusual bench seat set within an original inglenook. French doors open out to the patio and gardens, with decorative metalwork shutter doors inside adding an attractive and practical touch.
There are three bedrooms arranged across the first floor, with the two larger bedrooms each benefiting from a gorgeous bay window. The third bedroom could be configured as a home office or study if required. All of the bedrooms are finished with simple, uncluttered décor to create relaxing spaces. The bedrooms are served by the superb bathroom with sleek heritage tiling and a fantastic suite comprising bath, separate walk-in shower, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. Adjacent to the bathroom is a separate WC.
Externally
Abbey Mead benefits from an integral garage with internal access directly to the kitchen. There is further off-road parking space on the driveway. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with colourful shrubs and plantings to the boundaries. Larger gardens sit to the rear with a flagged patio overlooking further lawns. The patio has plenty of space for outdoor dining. The gardens enjoy a good level of privacy from mature trees, creating a peaceful haven that is only a short walk from the buzz of the thriving city.
Local Information
Abbey Meads is positioned on the south side of the River Wear as it loops through the vibrant and historic university city of Durham. Winding cobbled streets lead from the loop of the River Wear up to the dramatic Durham Cathedral and Castle World Heritage Site, providing one of the most stunning city panoramas in Europe. The city offers peaceful riverside walks and the chance to relax in one of the many cafés, restaurants, artisan workshops, boutiques, galleries and museums. Cultural and entertainment venues include the successful Gala Theatre and The Assembly Rooms Theatre, as well as the Palace Green Library.
The extraordinary Durham Cathedral dominates the skyline with the Norman Durham Castle facing it across the Palace Green. To the north of the castle is the 13th century medieval Crook Hall. South of the river, Durham University offers a Botanic Garden with woodland and tropical plants, and the Oriental Museum exhibiting Asian, Egyptian and Middle Eastern artefacts.
The picturesque Durham Heritage Coast is only a short drive away offering stunning walks with wild cliffs, dunes and views out across the North Sea. To the west lies the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb) and all the outdoor opportunities it has to offer.
The thriving city of Newcastle is within easy reach and offers a further range of cultural, educational, professional, recreational and shopping facilities. For the commuter, the A1 provides good access to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle City Centre and Newcastle International Airport. Teeside Interntional Airport is also within easy reach.
