  • Approximately 1/3 Acre Plot
Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase such an attractive and private property sat on a plot extending to approximately 1/3 of an acre but close to Durham City.

The property was originally constructed around 1900 and offers the spacious floorplan that period properties offer. The Farmhouse was then fully renovated in 2001. It has retained many of the period features including moulded cornice work, original fireplaces and picture rails. A viewing is highly recommended to understand all that this property has to offer. The flexible floorplan has accommodation that comprises, entrance lobby, hallway with the original staircase, lounge and sitting room which are both double aspect and a dining room along with the good sized kitchen/ breakfast room. To the first floor there is a large landing, four double bedrooms the main bedroom having an ensuite shower room as well as a separate family bathroom. Externally the property is accessed via a long driveway which is well screened by a mature hedge and opens up to an extensive parking area. The garden is of a good size and predominantly laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs creating a lovely meadow garden. There is a garage for additional parking.

Bent House Farm is a semi rural location approximately one and a half miles from Durham City Centre with all its benefits including schools and close to a good range of excellent facilities and amenities in Gilesgate itself and more comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities available in the City Centre. Gilesgate is also well served by an excellent road network providing good access to other parts of the region via the A(690) Highway, A1(M) Motorway and A(19) Highway.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
