Property Details
This exceptional five-bedroom home forms part of the Grade II listed St Clare's Abbey in Darlington’s prestigious West End. Built in 1857 and formerly a Carmelite convent, the abbey has been sympathetically converted to create a unique and characterful residence within a secure, gated community.
Blending historic architecture with modern comfort, the property features striking arched windows, high ceilings and original detailing alongside a sleek contemporary kitchen, updated bathrooms, energy-efficient LED lighting and a newly installed Hive smart heating and hot water system. The spacious open-plan living area is centred around an original fireplace with a Scandinavian Jøtul multi-fuel stove, creating a warm yet impressive space for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the principal suite with exposed beams and en-suite provides a peaceful retreat, complemented by four further versatile bedrooms and additional bathrooms. The home enjoys access to two tranquil courtyards, communal grounds and three private parking spaces, making it ideal for a secure “lock-up-and-leave” lifestyle.
Located in the highly sought-after West End of Darlington, the property is close to well-regarded schools, including Polam Hall School and Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, with excellent rail links and easy access to the A1(M).
A rare opportunity to own a distinctive home where heritage and modern living combine seamlessly. Viewing is strongly advised at the earliest opportunity, where the discerning purchaser cannot fail to be impressed.
