Whitesmocks, North End, Durham, DH1

Stunning Family Home ** No Chain ** Highly Regarded & Popular Location ** Close to Good Schooling & Major Road Links **

The property offers stunning accommodation, including an entrance lobby leading into a welcoming hallway, a snug/study, a WC, and a main lounge featuring a statement log burning fireplace and French doors that open onto the expansive, beautifully enclosed rear garden. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, enhanced by bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect to the garden, creating a perfect space for indoor-outdoor living. There is also a useful utility room. On the first floor there are four good size bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Externally, the property boasts a superb, mature rear garden, primarily laid to lawn and enclosed by well-established hedge borders. There is also a paved sun terrace accessed via French doors creating a picturesque setting overlooking the surprisingly large garden. At the front, a block-paved driveway offers ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

A hidden gem of this property is the private secondary garden, which features a charming Shepherd s hut. This versatile space can serve as an additional income source through Airbnb rentals, complete with a bedroom, shower room, and kitchen. Alternatively, it can function as a home office or provide separate accommodation for teenagers or extended family. Importantly, its location ensures the privacy of the main rear garden remains unaffected.

Whitesmocks has long been a sought-after residential area, valued not only for its proximity to the city but also for its closeness to the highly regarded St. Leonard s RC School and Durham Johnston. Over the years, the estate has matured, offering a high level of privacy thanks to well-established gardens, hedges, and tree-lined borders. Additionally, it remains conveniently close to major transport links (A167), as well as County Hall, the Land Registry, and the university hospital.
