Situated within the attractive and secluded St Johns Mews in Burnhope, this impressive four-bedroom corner property offers an exceptional amount of space, a high standard of finish and a wonderfully versatile layout. Tucked away within a small cul-de-sac comprising only a handful of properties, the home occupies a particularly appealing corner position, with a substantial block-paved driveway providing off-street parking for four to five vehicles, or more. A traditional-style lamppost adds character to the approach, while gated side access wraps around the property, providing excellent access to the rear garden and integral garage.

On entering, a glazed composite door with sidelight opens into a spacious hallway, immediately setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout. Beautiful Karndean tile parquet flooring continues through the hallway, with doors leading to the ground-floor accommodation. The layout is particularly versatile, with several reception spaces that can be adapted to suit the needs of the new owners. To the left is the dining room, a wonderfully flexible space which could equally lend itself to a playroom, sitting room or additional home-working area. French doors open directly onto the side garden, while double internal doors provide an attractive connection through to the lounge. The lounge itself is a bright and spacious room, centred around a multi-fuel burner, and leads through to the conservatory. Completed with a tiled roof in around 2014, the conservatory benefits from power and lighting and provides a lovely space from which to enjoy views across the garden.

Also on the ground floor is a useful WC, fitted with a toilet and pedestal wash basin with a white tiled mid-level surround, together with a dedicated home office featuring built-in desk and office furniture. To the rear is the impressive open-plan kitchen diner, finished with tiled flooring and fitted cabinetry throughout. The kitchen incorporates inset spotlights, a Metro-style tiled splashback, integrated dishwasher and gas Rangemaster cooker, while the current owners also have a freestanding fridge freezer; there is scope to integrate a fridge freezer within the existing cabinetry if preferred. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, while a further door provides access to the integral garage.

The spacious integral garage offers excellent additional functionality, with an electric roller door, Worcester gas boiler, water supply and plumbing provision for appliances, making it ideal for use as a utility area. A rear external door provides direct access to the garden, while useful loft storage within the garage rafters provides further space for those everyday items.

Ascending via the dog-leg staircase, the first floor continues to impress with a particularly spacious landing. A beautiful window provides an abundance of natural light and creates a delightful area which could be utilised as a reading nook, study or additional home-working space, depending on the needs of the new owners. Bedroom two is positioned to the rear and enjoys pleasant views over the green space beyond. Recently decorated, it features a new carpet and fitted bedroom furniture. Bedroom three is positioned to the front and benefits from fitted furniture and pleasant views towards the open countryside beyond, while bedroom four also faces the front and includes fitted wardrobes and has also been recently redecorated.

The family bathroom has also been recently decorated and features a beautiful tiled floor and matching tiled surround, a freestanding bath, separate shower, pedestal wash basin and WC. Completing the first floor is the impressive master bedroom. This is a particularly generous room, positioned to the rear of the property and featuring extensive fitted furniture including wardrobes, bedside tables, dressing table and sideboard. The master bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, finished with tiling, a walk-in shower with power shower and jet features, wash basin, WC and heated chrome towel radiator.

Externally, the property continues to deliver, with a beautifully maintained and particularly large garden wrapping around one side of the house. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is wonderfully versatile and provides an excellent environment for children, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. Open fields sit immediately beyond the rear boundary, giving the property a lovely rural outlook, while the surrounding area provides excellent opportunities for walking, including access towards Chapmans Well Nature Reserve.

The property is ideally placed for access to Lanchester, Stanley and Durham City, with good road links also providing convenient connections to Chester-le-Street, Consett and Newcastle. Further benefits include a Hive heating system and CCTV. The property, constructed circa 2001, is served by a shared effluent waste system which the seller advises is maintained every 12 months; the seller’s share of the 2026 maintenance bill was £181.00. The water supply is metered. The property also benefits from recently installed full-fibre broadband.

This is a superbly proportioned and highly versatile family home, combining generous accommodation with attractive gardens, excellent parking and a peaceful semi-rural setting. Properties offering this level of space and flexibility within such a small and appealing development rarely come to the market, so an early viewing is strongly recommended.
