Originally built in 2005 and occupying one of the most sought after and impressive garden sites within Darras Hall, is this magnificent modern mansion house. The property, which extends to 7673 sq ft, has a superb architectural design and is well set back from Runnymede Road, with gardens that run down to the River Pont at the rear. The grounds are stunning and have been extensively landscaped and planted, as well as enjoying mature trees which give good screening and privacy.

The house has been designed and finished to an extremely high standard, with a full refurbishment undertaken in 2025, offering stunning international fittings, fixtures and furnishings; the personal attention to detail is first class. New works most notably include a full refurbishment of all the bathrooms, new panelling to the hallway and drawing room, and new carpets and re-decorative works throughout, amongst many others. The property also benefits from underfloor heating and a security system which includes burglar alarm, CCTV and security lighting.

Darras Hall is on the outskirts of the delightful and historic village of Ponteland, with its medieval church and village green. The village offers a good range of local amenities, including a Waitrose and newsagents, friendly public houses and cafes, trendy wine bars and bistros, local shops and boutiques, restaurants critically acclaimed for their cuisine, a leisure centre and a variety of sports clubs.
