Situated in the ever-popular residential area of Waldridge, this substantial stone-built detached home is a rare and remarkable find. Originally a 19th-century farmhouse, the property has been significantly extended and tastefully refurbished to create a stunning five-bedroom residence arranged over three spacious floors. Combining period charm with modern comforts, it offers an exceptional standard of family living in a peaceful yet well-connected location.
The property occupies an elevated position, affording far-reaching views from the upper floors. Behind double gates lies a well-maintained front garden and a generous block-paved courtyard that provides ample off-street parking and access to a large garage. This attractive setting enhances the home's sense of privacy and space, while its cul-de-sac position adds to its appeal for families seeking peace and security.
Stepping inside, the ground floor is beautifully presented and brimming with character. The entrance hall leads to a smartly refitted cloakroom/WC, followed by a stunning farmhouse-style kitchen and breakfast room. With cream cabinetry, marble worktops, and integrated appliances, the kitchen is both elegant and practical—perfect for day-to-day living or entertaining. The sitting room, overlooking the rear garden, features an inviting fireplace and an open staircase to the first floor, offering a welcoming central space for the family. One of the most striking features of the home is the recently added garden room at the rear, complete with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, Velux windows, and folding doors that open out onto the private garden—bringing the outdoors in and creating a light-filled space for relaxing or hosting guests. The rear lounge includes a cosy wood-burning stove and opens through folding doors to a formal dining room. A well-equipped utility room is accessed from the sitting room, leading directly into the spacious garage.
On the first floor, three generously proportioned double bedrooms provide ample accommodation for a growing family or guests. The guest bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a quality range of fitted wardrobes and storage. A luxurious family bathroom has been refitted to an exceptional standard, complete with a central bath, double vanity unit, walk-in shower, and bespoke storage solutions—all finished with stylish tiling and ambient lighting.
The second floor offers two further bedrooms, both featuring charming dormer windows. The main bedroom is a standout, benefitting from a sleek, contemporary en suite shower room. The landing area on this floor also offers access to large eaves storage, providing excellent additional space often missing in homes of this scale.
Externally, the rear garden is both private and well-maintained, creating a tranquil retreat for outdoor dining, play, or simply enjoying the surroundings. The home's location is another of its key strengths. Waldridge is a quiet, desirable area on the edge of Chester-le-Street, within easy reach of local schools, shops, and amenities. Excellent transport links make commuting to Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead, and Sunderland simple and convenient, while the beautiful Waldridge Fell Country Park is just a short walk away—perfect for nature lovers and families alike.
This is a truly special home that successfully blends historical character with modern living. Properties of this size, style, and quality rarely become available—viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.
