"Staindrop is a superb location, conveniently only 20 minutes from Darlington or the A1 and 10 minutes from a choice of excellent schools. The house itself backs onto a cul de sac, which leads quickly to footpaths taking you to Raby Castle, river walks, open fields and the surrounding mature forest.

Purported to be the most architecturally diverse in the country, Staindrop itself is also known as the "Fanlight Village" owing to its abundance of front door fanlight windows. Legend has it that these were a source of competition between two carpenter brothers.

This four bedroom property is the epitome of elegance with its beautifully appointed reception rooms making it a joy in which to entertain. A warm, sophisticated lounge leads into an open plan kitchen, which then seamlessly melts into the dining room, set in a breath taking garden room. What more could anybody need?

The modern fitted kitchen offers plenty of room, lots of storage and a beautiful central island. This light and airy space is a pleasure for anyone spending time there, inspiring and re invigorating the need to cook and entertain.

The garden room itself has bi fold doors leading to the rear garden. Family and friends circulating in the kitchen and dining room are able to gaze out onto a landscaped, walled garden containing a lawn and mature climbing plants. The garden has outside lights so that it can continue to delight throughout the evening.

Light fills the house on every floor aided by multiple skylights and clever colour schemes. The first floor has a large landing with three bedrooms and a bathroom, each beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed. The master suite occupies the whole of the second floor; It has a pitched ceiling, is filled with light and punctuated by restored exposed beams and skylights, revealing its wonderful age. Now fully renovated and brought back to life, this is a superb refuge.

This property has a masterful blend of Grade ll property features versus contemporary accessories, giving the best of both worlds. It is easy to commute to work via major transport links and very easy to get to schools. The school run is further supported by the house being next to a major bus route so that children are able to travel independently. It is, in short, an ideal and practical family home, set in rich, leafy surroundings which can only be beneficial for health and wellbeing. This gives it a truly wholesome appeal.
