Five Bedroom, Three Bathroom, Two Living Spaces
Seldom does the opportunity arise to acquire what can only be described as a unique modern mansion situation in one of the most quintessential hamlets on the outskirts of the historic city of Durham.
Hetton Le Hill, by its name is a small group of individual homes perched on a hill and as a result offering superb views over the surrounding countryside. It is located only 6 miles to the east of Durham and only 2 miles from Pittington with its local shops, pub and restaurant. Whilst being in a country location, accessibility around the area could not be better with the A19 and A1(m) equidistant only 3 miles to the east and west respectively. Golf, leisure and the hotel facilities of Ramside Hall complex are nearby and cinema, shopping, bars and restaurants are all contained within the City itself which also provides a main east coast line train station.
It’s hard to believe that such a place exists which not only benefits from the quiet open countryside but also even more rare is the fact the home has only recently been completed and therefore benefits from all the modern building techniques, insulation, double glazing and a fantastic modern specification throughout. Under floor heating throughout the ground floor.
Internally the house does not disappoint with stone pillars and a grand double entrance door leading into an even grander reception hallway with central staircase and polished marble floors. Double door provide access to a full length formal living room as well as a huge full length, fully fitted, kitchen with family seating area, both having French door to the rear courtyard and gardens. Also on ground floor is a cloaks/w.c, utility and sitting room/garden room with glazed outlook to front and French doors to sun terrace.
At first floor a galleried landing offers access to 5 bedrooms, two with dressing rooms and 3 with luxury en suite facilities. There is also a luxury family bathroom and double doors leading to a balcony offering superb views over the surrounding farmland and woodland. Externally a gravel drive offers ample parking as well as access to the detached double garage which itself offers future possible living accommodation to the house if developed (subject to planning). The driveway dissects the lawned south facing front gardens and sun terrace and leads to the lawned rear garden and additional courtyard parking area.
Modern country mansions like Rose Tree House are rarely offered on the open market and as a result would strongly recommend arranging an early inspection to avoid disappointment.
