Cobden Street, Darlington, DL1

Avid observers of our property stock will know that we know a thing or two about the premium period property market. Homes of this nature offering a supreme level of finish and sympathetically extended family living simply doesn't come along often.

From outside you'd be forgiven for thinking this is simply a beautiful period property in a quiet residential street in the Eastbourne area of Darlington.

Even once you're into the porch and being seduced by the gorgeous high ceilings and period features do you get any hint of what's in store. Past the large formal living room and dining room and toward the kitchen and suddenly you'll realise what we're so excited about.

Enter the light and airy kitchen with the smooth, clean lines of the modern units and toward the rear of the house and the family room.

An enormous and versatile family space that will literally stop you in your tracks. Bi-fold doors to the garden mean the room is bathed in light and shows its full extent. Currently used for family meals as well as a cinema room, the space will take family parties and get together in its stride. Open the bi-folds on a sunny day and watch the children play in the large rear garden; something that you simply don't get with many period properties.

The outdoor space doesn't stop here though. Even the garden is extended and in so doing creates a useful division.

Back inside and toward the stairs again, this time taking in the large utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

Up the stairs to the half landing.

To the left and into the extended first floor with its deliciously well-proportioned rooms.

Cleverly reconfigured giving us a large family bathroom and three bedrooms, one with an ensuite.

Back in the original house and we find two more bedrooms; the main one offering a useful dressing room.

It would be easy to run out of space when describing property of this nature. We could focus on the quality of the decor and the beautiful quality of the finish. Alternatively, we could talk about the size and how it achieves that rare distinction of being a substantial house but feels warm and cosy. We could write about its plot and how the garden, garage and off-street parking give a unique and versatile home.

We feel that the only way to truly appreciate it is to come and see it in person and be seduced by this beautiful family home.

The Owners Love: The fact its a 'hidden gem' offering a huge space for the family

We Love: Where to start? There are so many things to commend this home but for us, its got to be how the extension and garden make this so perfect for a growing family. Just beautiful.
