Goodwell Lea, Brancepeth, Durham, Durham, DH7

Set in an enviable, secluded position with tranquil views over private woodland and beautifully landscaped gardens, this impressive residence offers spacious and highly versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Nestled within the conservation area of Brancepeth Village—one of County Durham’s most picturesque and sought-after locations—this home combines privacy, charm, and convenience just minutes from Durham City Centre.

A private driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. An attractive archway frames the approach to the meticulously maintained front garden, which bursts with colour from well-established flowers and shrubs. At the foot of the garden, two elevated decked areas offer idyllic spots to relax and entertain during the summer months, while a productive vegetable plot is tucked away behind the garage next to the log store and wood chopping area.

Internally, the home boasts a flexible layout ideal for modern living, with four reception rooms and five bedrooms, allowing the space to be tailored to suit a wide variety of needs. The light-filled living room enjoys a beautiful garden outlook and features a wood-burning stove for added character and warmth. To the rear, a cosy sitting room, again with wood burning stove opens into a bright conservatory, creating a peaceful space for year-round enjoyment. The well-appointed breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units, integrated appliances including instant hot water tap and breakfast bar seating. A practical utility room with external access and a formal dining room complete the main living accommodation.

The property offers five generously proportioned bedrooms—three on the ground floor and two upstairs. Three benefit from built-in storage, while the largest bedroom enjoys private en-suite facilities with a W.C. access from one of the first floor bedrooms. A family bathroom and an additional shower room serve the remaining rooms, providing comfort and convenience for guests and family alike.

The outdoor space continues to impress at the rear, with mature hedging providing privacy, and several seating areas to make the most of the tranquil surroundings.
