THE former mining town of Easington Lane in County Durham was once the set for world-acclaimed film Billy Elliot and has quickly become a sought-after area for homebuyers looking to take advantage of the picturesque countryside while being within easy reach of nearby cities. Gladedale’s Cotherstone Court in South Hetton Road comprises a wide variety of house types and is currently wowing visitors with a stunning new showhome, the four-bedroom detached Thurso Special. The housebuilder has created a collection of 27 one-, three- and four-bedroom properties including mews style, terraced and detached homes in a central location. Each of the properties has been designed for today’s needs, including open plan kitchens, spacious living areas and generous bedrooms. The four-bedroom Thurso Special showhome, priced at £209,995, is a particular favourite with buyers looking for a larger property as it has two storeys offering spacious accommodation for contemporary family living. A luxury interior design scheme incorporating bold floral prints and a rich palette of chocolate brown, gold, copper and bronze tones brings this striking showhome to life. The ground floor provides a perfect balance between casual and formal living space, including a generous lounge with feature bay window as well as an open plan kitchen and breakfast area with seating for all the family and French doors leading to the back garden. An additional room that could easily be adapted to a playroom or study and a separate elegant dining room provide the Thurso Special with an instant sense of grandeur. The curved landing on the first floor leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a striking space with double fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room with one-and-a-half-sized shower and feature circular window. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and two store cupboards offering additional space for a growing family. Easington Lane has convenient travel links, with good access to the A19, which leads north to Sunderland and south to Middlesbrough, as well as main bus routes and trunk roads. Prices at the development start from £131,995. Sales director Gillian Bell said: “Cotherstone Court is an exceptional place to live and the combination of its location and the variety of homes available makes it ideal for bringing up a family. “The Thurso Special showhome is a fine example of the quality of the properties on offer and I would invite interested buyers to pay us a visit to experience Cotherstone Court first hand.” For further information, tel: (0191) 526-9033 or visit www.gladedale.com. |
