Low Pittington has always been regarded as one of the best village locations on the outskirts of Durham and it is easy to see why. It has the benefits of a rural village with one off bespoke homes and easy accessibility throughout the area via the nearby A690 (1mile) and J62 of the A1m (2 miles). The Historic city of Durham is situated only 4 miles to the west and offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and pubs as well as the world-famous heritage sites of the Castle and Cathedral complex. All this and the countryside on your doorstep with nearby access to several walkways and bridle paths as well as the famous disused rail line which has been opened up to cycling, walking and running.
Cornmill Barn does not disappoint, having been originally developed by the regionally well-regarded developer, Peter Stott. The conversion of the existing barns complex has been sympathetically created and developed from the exiting farmhouse outbuildings which have retained their charm and character featuring exposed timber beams, rustic exposed stone, brick walls and stripped wood flooring. This impressive stone-built home has been updated and improved by the current owners to provide luxury throughout that can only be truly appreciated via an internal inspection.
With the dwelling approaching 3000 sq ft of GIA this is a substantial home and has the benefit of incorporating a ground floor independent but integral dwelling with separate lounge, kitchen bedroom, bathroom situated off the front entrance with private terrace. This area is ideal for older parents or teenagers but can easily be reincorporated into the main dwelling if required. Further steps from the entrance hallway lead to the impressive lounge/dining room with a superb floor to ceiling outlook over the rear gardens and sun terrace as well as access via French doors. The obligatory wood-burning stove adds the final touch to this room. Situated off the lounge is the breakfasting kitchen and utility.
At first floor there are 5 further bedrooms two with en suite facilities as well as two further luxury family bathrooms having interesting exposed beams, roof lights and exposed roof pitches all in keeping with the character of a converted barn.
Externally a block paved driveway leads into the courtyard with parking directly to the front of the house as well as to the rear. The rear elevated garden and sun terrace have been professionally landscaped to provide some great areas and outside space whilst still offering delightful views over open farmland beyond. The newly created wood beam pergola allows a great covered outside area for alfresco dining and socialising, a sought after addition under the current circumstances!
Viewing essential.
