In our expert opinion, this is undoubtedly one of the most exquisite cottages in the area. The current owners have poured their hearts into every detail, resulting in a residence that exudes charm and sophistication.

As you approach, you'll be greeted by electric gates that not only ensure security but also set the tone for the exclusivity that lies beyond. Step inside, and you'll be instantly captivated by the stunning exposed stone walls, the warmth of elegant fireplaces, and the rich allure of solid wood flooring. Every corner of this home tells a story of craftsmanship and taste.

Tucked away in a serene and private location, this property offers a generous and inviting layout. The ground floor boasts an entrance porch, an entrance hall that doubles as a cozy sitting room, a stylish lounge, and a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/family room that is perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. A utility room and a convenient WC complete this level.

Upstairs, you'll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The second bedroom is a true retreat, featuring built-in wardrobes and French doors that open to breathtaking views of the rear garden. The newly refitted bathroom/WC adds a touch of luxury to the first floor.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A double-length garage offers versatility that has been partly converted into a gym. The driveway provides ample parking, and the enclosed rear garden is an oasis of tranquility.

Situated in the sought-after village of West Rainton, this home combines rural charm with modern convenience. Local shops and amenities are within easy reach, while the nearby towns of Durham City Centre, Houghton-le-Spring, and Sunderland offer a wealth of shopping and recreational options. Commuters will appreciate the excellent road links provided by the A690, A1(M), and A19, making this the perfect location for those who seek both serenity and connectivity.
