4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Stanley
4
A truly unique bespoke self-build detached family home, offering four bedrooms, versatile additional loft accommodation, extensive parking, detached garages and beautifully presented living space throughout. Situated in a sought-after semi-rural location close to Beamish, Tanfield Railway and excellent commuter links, this distinctive home combines character, practicality and flexibility in equal measure.
Layton House is a striking bespoke self-build detached residence that stands proudly within a generous plot on James Street, Kip Hill. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation, this distinctive family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property that is genuinely one of a kind, with the added benefit of no onward chain.
Upon entering the property, an entrance porch provides a welcoming introduction before leading into the heart of the home. The lounge/dining room is a superb family space, featuring a cosy log-burning stove that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and entertain throughout the year.
The modern kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with both style and practicality in mind. A central island provides an excellent focal point and additional workspace, whilst French doors open directly onto the rear garden area, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
To the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing ample space for a growing family. Two of the bedrooms enjoy pleasant views across a small woodland area to the rear, offering a lovely outlook and an added sense of privacy. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, whilst the family bathroom is fitted with a vanity wash hand basin and bath with shower over.
A spiral staircase rises from the first-floor landing to a substantial loft space which further enhances the versatility of the property. This area also benefits from an en-suite bathroom and offers a wide range of potential uses, subject to a purchaser's requirements. Please note that this loft space has not been signed off as a bedroom and is therefore not included within the stated bedroom count. Planning permission is currently pending in relation to this space.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A large block-paved driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to two detached garages. One garage is currently utilised as a utility space, whilst the main garage benefits from a useful upper floor storey, creating exceptional flexibility for storage, hobbies, workshop use or a variety of other purposes. Outside aviaries are currently in situ and can be removed should a prospective purchaser wish.
The location is equally appealing. Positioned close to the historic Beamish area and the renowned Tanfield Railway, the property enjoys easy access to a variety of popular local businesses, restaurants and hospitality venues. Stanley town centre is within easy reach for everyday amenities, whilst excellent transport links provide convenient commuting to both Newcastle and Durham. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Coast to Coast cycle route offers wonderful walking and cycling opportunities through the surrounding countryside.
A unique and highly versatile family home that must be viewed to fully appreciate the space, flexibility and lifestyle on offer.
