" Flass Vale Hall is one of the finest private residences in the North of England. Set in beautifully maintained gardens of five acres with a further ten acres of woodland, this Arts and Crafts, detached property extends to over 12,000 square ft and occupies an elevated position with unrivalled views of Durham Cathedral and Castle. The property was extended and completely remodelled to an exceptionally high standard in 2005, providing an outstanding contemporary home taking full advantage of its unique location. The design concept has been consistent throughout with an abundance of Travertine flooring, sycamore doors and skirting, Wenge and Macassar ebony cabinetry as well as fully controllable mood lighting. The accommodation comprises six ensuite bedrooms, three of which have mezzanine levels providing additional dressing room or study space, while the master suite occupies the entire southeast side of the property with uninterrupted views of the Cathedral and Castle. The heart of the home is the spacious, open plan, Poggenpohl kitchen with honed and granite worktops on two 4 metre parallel islands. Full height glazing in the garden room and French windows to the terrace take full advantage of the landscaped gardens and the views of the Cathedral while a separate lounge area gives onto the external courtyard. A dramatic entrance hall with double height atrium leads to two reception rooms, a separate dining room and a study. Stairs lead down to the leisure suite with 14m pool, Klafs steam room, double showers, changing room and bar area. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a games room with timber floor, and a wine cellar. Flass Vale Hall is reached by a private drive with ample parking within an enclosed courtyard and triple garage. The landscaped gardens offer a range of vistas while the south facing terrace offers a unique outdoor dining experience with uninterrupted views of Durham Cathedral and Castle. This property exudes sophisticated style and taste. Materials and finishes throughout are of the highest quality while mood lighting, full house, wireless audio and a state of the art surveillance system provide both luxury and security. "
