The Property
Village Farm is a handsome former farmhouse standing in generous grounds in
the heart of Murton, close to a host of amenities and the magnificent Durham
Heritage Coast. Originally dating back to the 1830’s, Village Farm has been
renovated and updated with great care and attention to create a welcoming home
that blends traditional character with contemporary style and impressive
quality.
The central entrance hall connects to the fabulous reception rooms to left and
right. The sitting room has a striking feature fireplace to one side and is
filled with light from a large sash window. An open flow leads through to the
dining room to the rear elevation with plenty of space for a dining table and
chairs. Elegant colour palettes help to define the areas. Across the hall is
the inviting family room which is open plan to the kitchen. This whole area is
perfect for modern entertaining. An exposed brick fireplace with grand wood
mantel houses a duel - fuel stove to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. The
kitchen is fitted with a fine range of cabinetry in a farmhouse style, along
with a large central island with space for casual dining. The range cooker

tiled splashback. French doors open to the rear courtyard garden and the
kitchen is served by a practical utility room with external access. A ground
floor WC adds convenience.
There are four bedrooms arranged across the first floor. The principal bedroom
