Encompassing period features throughout and boasting an impressive local history, dating back to the early 16th century, perhaps even Elizabethan in origin. Durham Heritage information reports that the Earls of Lumley and Scarborough spent time here in the 18th century, in addition to being used as a summer residence of the Bishop of Durham!
This striking property, in the heart of Ryhope Village, had its origins in farming and has been sympathetically renovated to combine the old with the new. On the 3rd floor you will find 3 fireplaces probably dating back to the late 16th early 17th century!
Set in large, established gardens, amongst mature trees and well stocked borders, a sweeping gravel driveway leads you to the main entrance to the property. This versatile 3 storey accommodation offers 5 bedrooms and 2 luxurious bathrooms, merging modern storage and a large utility room, with a wine cellar under stairs and a "secret" room, currently used as a pantry, both with original cobblestone flooring.
The property also offers a large living area with an inglenook fireplace and dual fuel log burner, dining room and wonderful country kitchen diner, with a Rangermaster stove.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property, unique to the market, set in an idyllic location, offering nearby coastal walks and yet close to all local transport links and amenities.
