The Area

Langley Park

Langley Park

Kingswood Park is an exclusive enclave on the fringe of Langley Park, in a location which is known only to a few. Approached along an unprepossessing lane the exclusive cul-de-sac named as Kingswood comes as a complete surprise, comprising a handful of individual and imposing modern homes. Situated but 6 miles from Durham and 7 miles from the A1 (M), the location could not be more convenient. There are neighbourhood facilities within Langley Park itself along with a broader range of schooling and amenities being found in Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland and the other surrounding towns. For the commuter the A1 (M), A68 and A69 provide links with the major commercial centres of the northeast. International airports at Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley along with the East Coast mainline railway provide links with the rest of the country. Many of the attractions of North Yorkshire, County Durham, Northumberland, The Lake District and the East Coast are within a comfortable drive, resulting in the perfect location for both commercial and family needs.

The Property

Kingstone House

Kingstone House

Individually designed in 2004, this modern masterpiece has clearly been constructed without thought to cost, enjoying many stunning features along with technologically advanced functionality which controls the under floor heating, heat recovery system, internal and external lighting, security and mood lighting. Despite the generous proportions of the property the flow and interconnection of the rooms works extremely well radiating from an imposing reception hall with marble staircase and galleried landing above. There are 3 reception rooms along with a beautiful family kitchen, together with 4 large en suite double bedrooms and a leisure wing housing the swimming pool and spa. The master bedroom has a dressing room and sumptuous en suite plus an adjoining living room/quiet room with integrated refrigerator. The property stands within mature gardens which are principally lawned and adjoin fields to the eastern boundary. It is approached over an extensive gravelled carriage driveway with central fountain. There is a detached double and further single garage both constructed to a high specification, meaning conversion to additional accommodation would be achieved with relative ease subject to consents, plus ample additional parking. It is clear that the property has been a labour of love for the current owners both in terms of the design and significant thought which has gone into the creation of a particularly fine family home.
