Brunswick Villa Tanfield Village County Durham DH9 9PX

BRUNSWICK VILLA The plot on which Brunswick Villa stands was the main attraction for us. The position is unbeatable and we could envision building our dream home here. When we bought the property in 2008 there was a very tired 1970 s bungalow standing here. The bungalow was quickly demolished to make way for Brunswick Villa, a seven bedroom house which blends effortlessly with its surroundings.

Brunswick Villa is a highly impressive and generously proportioned detached residence boasting beautiful, mature grounds and situated within the sought after village of Tanfield. The house was constructed approximately 8 years ago by the current owners and they have succeeded in creating a glorious seven bedroom home with every modern luxury you could wish for. The accommodation is over three floors and presented to an exceptional standard with five of the bedrooms having en suite facilities, all equipped with modern suites and complemented by stunning wall tiling and contemporary fittings. The attention to detail in every room is immediately apparent with stylish décor and quality fixtures as well as an abundance of space both inside and outdoors. The property benefits from gas central heating, timber frame double glazing and the majority of the rooms are fitted with ceiling spotlights. The gardens deliver a fabulous outlook with mature trees and swathes of lawn as well as ample car parking. Tanfield Village is conveniently placed for access routes to Newcastle, Durham and the Metro Centre being well placed for access to the A1.

You enter the property via an entrance porch which in turn provides access to a reception hall. The reception hall is an impressive entry to the home, featuring a striking central staircase rising to the first floor. The flooring is beautiful and presented with a border and patterned centrepiece. Situated to the front aspect of the home, the superbly presented family room features double glazed double French doors, with a window to either side, opening onto the front patio terrace. In addition twin double glazed windows overlook the side aspect. Concealed lighting is fitted to create a wonderful ambience within this elegant room. From the family room double doors provide access to the stunning dining kitchen, fitted with an impressive array of wall and base kitchen cabinets incorporating drawers, display cabinets/shelves, complementary work surfaces and a central island with breakfast bar. There is an integrated dishwasher, a range style cooker with five gas burners and a chimney style extractor. A recess within the cabinets will accommodate an American style fridge freezer and the kitchen is supported by a utility room. The formal lounge is a splendid room with the focal point being an attractive fire surround housing an electric fire. Enjoying a dual aspect with twin windows positioned overlooking both the front and rear elevations. The ground floor continues with a versatile room which is used by the current owners as bedroom five/ gym and would be ideal as an additional bedroom, benefiting from an en suite shower room which is presented in a contemporary style. There is also a downstairs cloakroom/wc with white suite.

Seller Insight The plot on which Brunswick Villa stands was the main attraction for us. The position is unbeatable and we could envision building our dream home here. When we bought the property in 2008 there was a very tired 1970 s bungalow standing here. The bungalow was quickly demolished to make way for Brunswick Villa, a seven bedroom house which blends effortlessly with its surroundings. Inside you find the perfect family home, with every room being larger than average. A wonderful party house, the property is ideal for entertaining family and friends. Whether it s a drinks party, a relaxing BBQ on the terrace or savouring a home cooked meal in the spacious dining kitchen, this secluded house really does suit every occasion. It came into its own recently when we hosted the wedding of our daughter. The family room is the room we tend to use most, as well as enjoying lovely views over the front garden it also leads straight into the large dining kitchen. The space we have inside the house here always makes it easy to find a quite spot and having a separate lounge has been a godsend at times. The front terrace has been positioned to enjoy views of the mature gardens as well as the all-day sun. Tanfield Village is a peaceful, idyllic and convenient place to live. The gardens of the house provide solitude yet you have the advantage of being close to the village pub and a lovely tea room. Local bus routes link to Durham and the Metro Centre and the A1 is only a 10 minute drive. We are going to miss the privacy of having such a large plot and also the vast living space we have within. We take with us many wonderful memories. I will never forget that feeling of sitting on the front terrace after a hard day at work with a glass of wine overlooking the gardens. It is now time for us to move on, with just the two of us living here we feel this home should really be enjoyed by a family again.

Brunswick Villa is approached through a timber gate opening to the drive which first leads to a detached double garage with twin doors, power and lighting. The drive continues to the front of the house with lawn areas to both sides and planted borders. The gardens are a wonderful highlight of this fine home, boasting mature trees and providing an attractive outlook. Directly to the front of the house there is a generous patio terrace, ideal for dining outdoors and entertaining and having the benefit of two double power points either side of the front door. To the side of the house there is a car port providing additional undercover parking. To the rear lies a patio area with steps up to a spacious raised lawn with timber shed featuring a decked area to the front and there is also a greenhouse, external lighting and outside water tap.
