A 'simply stunning' Darlington country house described as 'truly a one of a kind property' is on the market for £795,000.

The four-bedroom farmhouse, built in the late 1700s, is located in Houghton-le-Side and boasts panoramic views.

The property, listed by Carver Residential, has been 'lovingly cared for, restored, and tastefully renovated' over the years.

Carver Residential said: "With views like these you'd never want to leave home again."

Despite its rural location, the property is five minutes from the A1(M), 10 minutes from the new Bishop Auckland retail park, and eight miles from Darlington Train station, which has links to London.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen has an Aga cooker and the property has four reception rooms, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a downstairs toilet.(Image: Carver Residential)

The home also has solar power, which heats the water, and PV, which generates electricity with a 'generous Feed in Tariff' which means power bills could be next to nothing.

There you will find the "Gin Gang", which is a building that once ran by horsepower but now houses machinery.

It is freehold, has oil central heating, mains electric, water, and drainage and has double glazing.

Carver Residential said: "This property is a must-see but even more than that a must 'feel' property, the location is outstanding."
