**THREE ACRES**

Bradley Hall is delighted to welcome to the market this exquisite Grade II listed home, dating back to 17th century, situated on the outskirts of Durham City Centre. The property is set on approximately three acres of formal gardens and fields.

The home boasts ample parking to the side, complemented by a detached double garage and a single garage. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a stunning porch featuring solid hardwood construction, a pitched ceiling, and stained glass windows. This leads to a welcoming reception room and the main internal hallway.

The main living room is a highlight of the home, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering captivating views over the formal gardens. The room features a Stovax log burner with a carved wooden surround and includes a hidden original safe used by the village doctor who originally lived in the house.

Adjacent to the living room is a large dining room, adorned with solid wood panelling and original wood flooring. The dining room also features an exceptional carved wooden fireplace with marble and tile details.

The kitchen is equipped with a granite worktop, ample wall and base units, an integrated double oven, dishwasher, and AEG induction hob. A rear hallway, accessible from the dining room, leads to the garden.

A further reception room off the hallway boasts a large bay window with a stained glass feature. This area also includes a bathroom, laundry room, and an additional bedroom, making it ideal for an annex.

The first floor comprises five generous-sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and an original wooden ceiling. The main bathroom is fully tiled and includes a bath, basin, bidet, w.c., and shower. There is also a fully fitted en-suite.

The property retains many of its original features, including wooden sash windows with matching shutters, adding to its charm and character.
