Castlefields, Bournmoor, Houghton le Spring, DH4

Occupying an outstanding plot within a small cul-de-sac, this wonderfully appealing Bellway "Ashridge" style detached house is a magnificent family home, with a substantial rear extension and extensive upgrades throughout its spacious interior. The size and quality of the layout really must be seen, together with the well-kept westerly-facing back gardens, triple parking, and attached double garage. One of the largest designs, the Ashridge is undoubtedly a desirable home, and the extension and remodelling of the kitchen, dining and family area has created something very special, creating a stunning open plan living space extending to around 450 square feet with a lovely outlook over the gardens. Every aspect of this prestigious home is perfectly suited to family living. On the ground floor, the spacious entrance hall features bespoke fitted under-stair storage and an attractive oak and glass staircase, together with a refitted cloakroom/wc. The good-sized study provides an ideal home working space. The living room spans the full depth of the original house, extending to around 20ft and including a wood-burning stove and double doors opening to the back garden. The kitchen, dining and family area is the main hub of the house, ideal for family living and entertaining, with an extensive refitted quality kitchen featuring an island and integrated appliances, a vaulted ceiling to the family area with Velux windows and double-glazed French windows to the gardens. There is also a large fitted utility room extending around 16ft, which provides access to the double garage with a remote-controlled door. On the first floor, the large central landing provides access to four very well-proportioned bedrooms and the large refitted family bathroom with a white suite featuring two counter-mounted wash basins, a separate shower enclosure and underfloor heating. The main bedroom also has a high-quality refitted en suite shower room, with a large walk-in shower enclosure, contemporary fittings and underfloor heating. The specification of this prestige home includes numerous upgrades, including a replacement combination boiler, uPVC double glazing, an alarm system, oak internal doors, plantation shutters and an electric car charging point. This home is simply outstanding and really must be seen to be appreciated.

Castlefields is a highly regarded residential estate on the outskirts of Bournmoor Village. The estate lies only a few minutes' drive from the A1(M) interchange in Chester le Street. An excellent road network allows easy access to Durham City, Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.
