County Durham mansion on the market for £1.6m - take a look inside

HAVE you ever dreamed of winning the lottery and splashing out on a multi-million-pound mansion near where you live?

Most people have, and for those that have let their mind wander for one second about scooping ‘mega money’, there are houses out there to accommodate you.

In County Durham, that’s definitely the case – with William House, a modern five-bedroom property located near to the City of Durham, currently on the market for £1.6m.

The property, which has been described as a “truly spectacular modern mansion” is on a residential street in Carville surrounded by a similar calibre of houses.

William House occupies a plot extending to nearly 0.5 acre of formal grounds, and boasts views of the adjoining golf course, Durham City and the Durham countryside and hills.

Housed inside the Ramside complex, the property is close to two 18-hole golf courses, driving range, great club house facilities, a spa, gym and swimming pool complex as well as the 4-star hotel with its range of restaurants.

Located only two miles to the East of the Historic city of Durham, according to the listing on Bradley Hall Estate Agents: “William House, not only provides a country feel but has the benefit of excellent communication links via J62 of the A1(M) as well as train services on the east coast mainline from the city’s main train station for locations throughout the country”.

The extensive plot, which was developed in 2017 by the current occupiers, also provides car parking to the front and side of the house and to the detached double garage, all accessed behind a remote electric wrought iron gate.

Inside William House, people are greeted by a fully glazed central reception with sweeping glass and wood staircase which gives the impression of ‘floating’ stairs. In total, the property has five-bedrooms, four bathrooms and two living rooms.

On ground floor, the house enjoys an abundance of light though the wall to ceiling glazed units. The central reception hallway with luxury tiled floor leads to cloaks/wc, snug with fully fitted furniture and conceal bar, lounge, living room, and large living/kitchen/dining room on the ground floor.

At first floor, the contemporary staircase leads to a landing with principal bedroom and his and hers dressing room, vanity room and luxury en suite bathroom.

There are a further two bedrooms on this level, all with en suite, and two more bedrooms on the second floor.

That’s not all, though. In addition to the internal space, the home also enjoys additional accommodation within the detached double garage and a fully detached garden room with raised sun terrace.
