Bowes Gate Drive, Lambton Park, Chester Le Street, Durham, DH3

A working estate of forestry and farming, Lambton Estate will feature over 1,000 acres of park and woodland with around 15 kilometres of woodland footpaths with views of Lambton Castle and the River Wear gorge. Future development includes a retail and community hub serving the estate and including a café and a traditional high street of around nine independent businesses, which are expected to include a baker, delicatessen, butcher, grocer, estate farm shop, florist, pharmacy, convenience store and hair/beauty salon. This stunning third-floor apartment is exceptional in terms of the space and layout offered, with a magnificent dual aspect open plan living room extending to over 27ft creating an impressive and wonderfully adaptable space. Accessed via a security intercom entry system, the apartment includes a lobby with storage cupboards, a hall, two bedrooms, an en suite shower room and the main bathroom. The main living space includes a stylish contemporary kitchen with an island and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. The front window enjoys open views. There are communal gardens with access to the Lambton estate and a rear courtyard with allocated parking. Available with no onward chain, this stunning property must be seen to be appreciated. The peace and seclusion offered by Lambton Park contrast with its exceptional convenience. These superb homes are just two miles from junction 63 of the A1(M) and around 20 minutes drive from Durham, Tyneside and the beautiful northeast coast. The towns of Chester le Street, Houghton le Spring and Washington are all within approximately three miles of the development, and trains from Chester le Street serve Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as the Metrocentre in Gateshead. The local Connections4 bus service, running every ten minutes between Houghton le Spring and Heworth Metro Station, stops a few yards from Lambton Park.
