IT MAY be a well worn cliche, but Oak Rise really is a home that has it all, including a wealth of beautifully-designed and finished accommodation and a semi-rural location in a conservation area that is just over four miles from all the amenities of Durham city centre.

The property has been substantially improved by the vendors since they bought it, and now includes an entrance hall with cloakroom, lounge with feature fireplace and French doors onto a patio, dining room, study, utility room and open-plan living kitchen on the ground floor.

The focal point of the home, the living kitchen includes floor and wall units with granite worktops, an island unit, a range cooker, a walk-in pantry cupboard and a half hexagonal seating area.

Upstairs are the family bathroom with a walk-in double shower and oval freestanding bath, plus five bedrooms. These include the master suite which comprises a 28ft bedroom with two pairs of French doors giving access to a balcony, a walk-in dressing area and en-suite bathroom; the second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and French doors to a separate balcony, and a third bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

Oak Rise has gardens to three sides, predominantly laid to lawn with terraced areas, a raised patio seating area and a sunken patio area which provides a good degree of privacy.

The property also benefits from a double garage and an integrated sound system to some of the principal rooms via Bose speakers.

Oak Rise is situated in the semi-rural hamlet of Old Cassop and is on the market at offers in the region of £595,000.
