Sidegate House, Sidegate

Bradley Hall is delighted to present an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial property in the heart of Durham City. Perfectly positioned on a generous plot extending to approx. 0.3 acres, this home offers a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance of a mature garden while being just a short stroll from the River Wear, the city’s vibrant amenities, and the railway station, which is only a five-minute walk away.

The current property, spanning over 1,550 square feet, is thoughtfully arranged on a single level, with a garage situated below. Inside, the accommodation includes four bedrooms, one of which is utilised as an office, alongside two spacious reception rooms. Stone steps lead to the inviting front entrance, opening into a bright and airy garden room. From here, double doors reveal the expansive living room, featuring a charming fireplace with a log burner. Three of the bedrooms benefit from fitted storage, and a dedicated office area adds functionality to the home.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a true highlight, offering a modern range of wall and base units topped with sleek quartz countertops. The main bathroom includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with storage, a W.C., and an additional storage cupboard. Adjacent spaces include a utility room and a further W.C., ensuring practicality throughout.

The outdoor areas are equally impressive, with a large lawn bordered by mature shrubs, a timber decking area perfect for al fresco dining, a greenhouse, and a potting shed. Ample parking is available, including a car charging point, making the property as functional as it is beautiful.

This home comes with two distinct planning consents, providing significant development potential. The first option involves extending and modernising the current property, with plans that include a two-storey side extension, single-storey front and side extensions, and an increased roof height to create first-floor accommodation. (ref: DM/23/02530/FPA) The second option allows for the complete redevelopment of the property, with plans approved for a replacement dwelling on a slightly smaller footprint. Both options offer the chance to create a superior residence tailored to contemporary living.(ref: DM/21/01876/FPA)

Situated in the desirable Sidegate area, this property enjoys an enviable location close to top-rated schools, excellent transport links, and a wide range of local amenities.
