 MAHON HOUSE
Garmondsway | Ferryhill | Durham | DL17 9DY
Situated in a lovely location surrounded by open countryside, Mahon House a property
offering the opportunity to purchase a beautiful family home with great development
potential. A former farmhouse dating back around 200 years, it principally offers a
spacious, detached home of four bedrooms and two reception rooms. It is immaculately
presented and can be moved straight into and enjoyed. However, for anyone seeking a
business opportunity, or a property with numerous features around which to establish a
new enterprise, or to develop the land for further housing, it has much to appeal. Mahon
House is currently trading as a kennels and cattery and the goodwill of the business is
available by separate negotiation. Securing change of use permission could see the
extensive outbuildings, kennels and a barn developed for an alternative purpose. Likewise,
adjoining buildings could be re-developed as a granny annexe or holiday let, or a pre-
planning application to build additional homes on the property could be pursued further.
In short, the potential here is limited only by imagination. Certainly, the scale of the plot is
substantial with a large tarmac drive and parking area, with extensive and established
gardens offering lots of outdoor roaming space for children and pets, all stretching to
approximately one acre. The house itself is a strong property, attractive from the outside
and with a traditional interior layout. The entrance porch leads into a hallway with the
principal reception rooms on either side. Both elegant rooms have beamed ceilings, the
lounge has a feature fireplace and the dining room has an alcove with shelving and storage.
The breakfasting kitchen, with a utility room opposite, is at the back overlooking the
garden, which is accessed via a rear porch leading on to a stone patio area studded with
herbs, for outdoor dining. A large picture window ensures the kitchen is lovely and bright,
as well as being large enough for everyday dining. The two largest of the three double
bedrooms have built in wardrobes and are at the front of the property, with a single
room in between which would be ideal as a nursery. The refitted contemporary family
bathroom and is light and bright. The property’s elevated position maximises the pleasant
views and mature hedging adds to the privacy and security.
AMENITIES:
200 year old former south facing farmhouse offering extensive
outbuildings and kennelling, with fabulous countryside views.
Current kennelling business can be continued under separate
negotiation. The site offers a potential development opportunity
for conversion of a barn and erection of 2 new buildings, subject
to planning permission. Two further adjoining buildings could also
be utilized perhaps into a granny annexe.

village of Sedgefield and Hardwick Hall and Country Park, Mahon
House is also close to historic Durham City making it appealing
