42 FIELDHOUSE LANE

Bradley Hall is delighted to present this exceptional family home, thoughtfully extended by the current owners to provide additional living space while retaining its original character. Situated in the highly desirable North End area, the property offers a perfect blend of period charm and modern convenience.
The house benefits from a spacious block-paved driveway, complemented by on-street permit parking. A welcoming vestibule opens into the hallway, creating a warm and inviting first impression. The bespoke kitchen is a standout feature, boasting solid wood wall and base units, granite worktops, and slate flooring. Integrated appliances include a Rayburn gas oven and hob, an additional electric hob, a wine fridge, and a dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen, a pantry leads to a practical utility/laundry room with a WC and access to the garage storage area. The dining/living area is enhanced by bi-folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Underfloor heating extends throughout the kitchen and dining area. A charming original brick archway connects this space to the snug, which features a cosy log burner set within an attractive brick surround. At the front of the house, the living room provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a traditional cast iron living flame fire.
Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms. The second bedroom includes a spacious en-suite bathroom, accessed via a stylish sliding barn door, with a shower, basin, and WC. The master bedroom features wardrobes crafted from reclaimed church doors and an original cast iron fireplace. One of the additional bedrooms retains a charming fireplace and beautifully restored wooden flooring, enhancing the property’s period appeal. The main family bathroom is luxuriously appointed, with a marble wash hand basin, high-level WC, claw-foot roll-top slipper bath with a shower mixer tap, a separate shower cubicle with a wall-mounted mains-fed shower, and an ornate freestanding cast iron radiator. Bespoke shutters adorn the windows in the formal living room and master bedroom, both of which also feature window seats and bespoke radiator cabinets.
The rear garden is a particular highlight, offering a substantial tiered design with well-established trees and shrubs that provide a high degree of privacy. This secluded outdoor space is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining, with potential for future development (subject to planning permission).
This property enjoys an enviable location, combining the charm of a period home with the convenience of being within walking distance of Durham City, the train station, and North Durham Hospital. Fieldhouse Lane has long been one of the most sought-after addresses, thanks to its proximity to excellent schools, including St. Leonard’s RC School and Durham Johnston, both of which are highly regarded. The area’s mature landscaping, with its established gardens, hedges, and trees, provides exceptional privacy while maintaining close access to key amenities such as the A167, County Hall, the Land Registry, and the University Hospital. This truly unique home is not to be missed.
