The Buttery, Manor House Farm, Durham Road, Lanchester, DH7 0TQ
A substantial and characterful four bedroom home forming part of the historic Manor House Farm development, offering generous and versatile accommodation, an impressive living room, separate study, three bath or shower rooms and a fascinating setting on the outskirts of Lanchester.
The Buttery is a distinctive period property forming part of Manor House Farm, an established collection of individual homes whose origins reflect the agricultural heritage of this part of Lanchester. With neighbouring properties bearing names including The Granary, The Maltings and The Farmhouse, the development retains a wonderful connection to its former life as a traditional farmstead.
Believed to date from before 1900, The Buttery has since evolved into a particularly spacious family home. Its accommodation is arranged over two floors and combines the proportions and individuality associated with an older property with a versatile layout well suited to modern family life.
The ground floor is centred around an impressive living room, a wonderfully generous reception space providing considerable flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining. Multiple windows provide natural light and add to the character and atmosphere of the room.
Adjoining the main living accommodation is a separate study, ideal for those working from home, but equally suited for use as a snug, playroom or occasional guest space. A useful ground floor shower room adds further practicality.
To the rear of the property sits the kitchen, another well proportioned room offering plenty of space for everyday family life. Direct external access provides a practical entrance and connection with the outside of the property.
The first floor continues the sense of space, providing four bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering excellent proportions and flexibility in the arrangement of furniture. There are two further well proportioned bedrooms, with useful built in storage available within the accommodation.
The fourth bedroom is more compact and provides a versatile additional space which could work particularly well as a nursery, dressing room, home office or occasional bedroom, depending upon the requirements of the new owner.
A notable feature of the first floor is the bathroom provision. There is a family bathroom incorporating a bath, together with an additional shower room, complementing the shower room positioned on the ground floor. This provides particularly useful flexibility for family living and visiting guests.
A home with a story
The name The Buttery provides a fitting link to the property's historic surroundings. Butteries were traditionally service and storage rooms associated with substantial houses and agricultural properties. Together with neighbouring names such as The Granary and The Maltings, it provides a reminder of the origins and heritage of the wider Manor House Farm setting.
While the individual historic use of The Buttery has not been independently verified, the character of Manor House Farm and the naming of its individual buildings create a setting quite different from a conventional residential development.
Location
The property occupies an attractive position at Manor House Farm, Durham Road, on the eastern approach to the highly regarded village of Lanchester.
The location offers an appealing balance, with the atmosphere and character associated with a former rural farmstead while remaining conveniently placed for the amenities and community of Lanchester village.
Lanchester is one of County Durham's most established and sought after villages, providing a good selection of independent shops, places to eat and drink, everyday services and schooling, together with convenient road connections towards Durham City and the wider North East.
The area's history stretches back almost two thousand years. Nearby Longovicium Roman Fort was established during the Roman occupation and stood close to Dere Street, the important Roman route connecting York with settlements further north. Lanchester subsequently developed as an agricultural community, making the heritage of Manor House Farm particularly appropriate to its wider surroundings.
The Buttery offers considerably more than its name might initially suggest. With four bedrooms, three bath or shower rooms, a superb main reception room and separate study, this is an individual home offering space, versatility and a genuine connection to the history of its setting.
