CORNSAY House Farm is proof that a country house does not need to pass through several generations, or even be old, to be stunning.

This country estate comprises a newly-constructed house, substantial detached cottage and extensive modern outbuildings, set in about 60 acres, primarily meadow and pasture land with some woodland.

The ground floor of the main house comprises a reception hall with solid oak flooring; a modern guest cloakroom; light and airy drawing room with large bay window, feature beams and open fire with sandstone surround; dining room; snug; large study; utility room; and exquisite open-plan breakfast kitchen/family room.

The latter room is the hub of the house and includes bespoke hand-made oak units and a central island, breakfast area with French doors to the garden and a living area with exposed brick fireplace, stone hearth and multifuel stove.

Upstairs, off the galleried landing, are a luxurious master bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite wet room. There are also three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The second floor has two more double bedrooms and a stylish Jack & Jill bathroom.

This property has been designed and finished to the highest specification, with features that include solid oak floors, underfloor heating, hardwood windows and an integrated Nuvo sound system.

The main house has a double garage, further large garage, stabling for three horses, a tack room and a tractor garage with room above, all of which form an attractive courtyard.

Its gardens – which feature a decked area – are mainly lawned and have views over the surrounding countryside.

The five-bedroom cottage includes an entrance hall, breakfast kitchen, dining room, sitting room, snug, garden room, utility room, cloakroom, boot room, modern shower room and bathroom with separate wc.

This property has an enclosed garden and a range of modern outbuildings, plus a traditional two-storey barn with adjoining lean-to buildings which currently provide storage but are perfect for conversion, subject to obtaining planning consent.

Cornsay House Farm – a few miles south of Lanchester, County Durham – is on the market at offers in the region of £1.85m.
