Hagg House EPC

"A beautifully restored Victorian country house with expansive, picturesque gardens in a charming rural setting"

The Property
Set amidst the serene and picturesque countryside of County Durham, Hagg House is an immaculately presented Victorian country home in a stunning and private setting. Located in a conservation area, this recently refurbished property, originally built in the 1850s and expanded over time, showcases a harmonious blend of historical character and contemporary comforts. Surrounded by lush formal gardens, meadows, and the tranquil River Balder, Hagg House offers an idyllic rural retreat.

Inside, the living areas are spacious and beautifully appointed, distinguished by thoughtfully curated decor and premium details throughout. The main reception rooms are wonderfully grand and inviting, featuring expansive bay windows, high ceilings, bespoke shelving, and decorative fire surrounds.

The highlight of Hagg House is the spacious open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, flooded with natural light and featuring a scenic outlook over the rear gardens. The kitchen is well-equipped, including a Rangemaster induction hob, integrated Bosch fridge freezer, large central island, and a walk-in pantry. Adjoining the kitchen, the utility room offers practical storage solutions with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and access to the rear garden. The dining room, accessible from the kitchen, provides a perfect space for entertaining, with views over the beautiful gardens. A study also features on the ground floor alongside a convenient WC.

The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering views of the neatly maintained formal gardens. The principal bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect room, complete with an en-suite featuring a bespoke design by AQS Bathrooms, featuring high-end fixtures including a walk-in shower, WC, and hand wash basin. The second main bedroom, also dual-aspect, includes an en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms share access to a well-appointed family bathroom with a bath, shower cubicle, WC, and vanity hand wash basin.

Externally
Accessed via a gated entrance, Hagg House is set within approximately 1.84 acres of walled gardens, extending to the riverside. The gardens include formal sections, a large pond with a bridge, a wildflower meadow, and a cottage garden with an orchard containing 14 apple and plum trees. Two patios adjacent to the house provide perfect spots for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the meadow includes a vegetable patch for those with green fingers.

The property includes several outbuildings, the highlight being a striking Grade II listed folly known as “Monk’s House,” which has planning permission for restoration. The paddock, extending to approximately 1 acre, features 26 solar panels, offering sustainable energy solutions. A double garage with an electric roller door, power supply, and lighting provides ample space for parking and storage, with a workshop area at the rear.

Surrounded by open fields and green spaces, Hagg House provides picturesque views from both the front and rear aspects of the property.
