Seldom does the opportunity arise to buy a home within this location, which is why none have come to the market since the development was completed in 2016 by the well-established and regarded developer Dere Street Homes and award-winning architect.

Just 13 were originally built in a farmhouse style courtyard offering a secure gated community located on top of a raised plateau which as a result offers magnificent rural views. This is truly an exclusive development offering a location and lifestyle of which many dream, but only few achieve and has arguably become one of the best residential locations on the fringe of this historic city.

This exquisite home is located at the heart of the development and occupies a good size plot with a large rear garden backing directly onto the golf course and as a result not overlooked. The raised location offers superb views over the adjoining Cathedral course, towards Durham City and beyond over the Durham countryside and hills. The facilities within the Ramside complex are close by where you can enjoy two 18-hole golf courses, driving range, great club house facilities, a spa, gym, and swimming pool complex as well as the 4-star hotel with its range of restaurants. The estate has in effect established itself with a ‘country club’ feel to it and the future plans will create even bigger and better facilities for the use of the residents.

The sweeping driveway dissects the golf course on the way into the development and the house offers an abundance of parking to the front as well as an integral double garage. On entering the property your first impression is the abundance of light generated by the large floor to ceiling windows which capture perfectly the unique open views. The entrance hallway provides access to a cloakroom/WC as well as a utility leading into the garage. The open kitchen/breakfasting/dining area has been comprehensive fitted and allows great views and access to the rear gardens and sun terrace. Also on ground floor is the formal lounge which benefits from a feature fireplace.

A contemporary glass staircase leads to the first-floor landing which in turn leads to the study with gallery outlook over the formal lounge as well as to 3 bedrooms, one with en suite and a luxury family bathroom. The stairs continue to the second floor where there are 2 further bedrooms both with en-suites.

Energy saving has also been a priority within the home with a heat recovery system taking the heat from bathroom and kitchen vented air to heat fresh air entering the homes. Under-floor heating to all floors to and tripled glazed windows create the best of both worlds – low energy utilisation with abundant light and fresh air with the homes.

Viewing strongly recommended to appreciate this uniquely designed home as well as the superb finishes throughout.
