Woodside, Old Waldridge
Chester le Street, Durham DH2 3SL
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Woodside was constructed by the current owner in 2001. The
property occupies a magnificent and mature garden site on the
edge of the hamlet of Old Waldridge.
Previously part of a farm steading, the Old Waldridge House and
its adjacent buildings are part of a luxury housing development.
Woodside itself has been created as a magnificent modern
house, which is set in its own impressive grounds.
With access off Warkworth Drive, it has a discreet entrance
shared by Waldridge Cottage and Old Waldridge House. It
curves around an unadopted road and leads in through
impressive wrought iron gates which connect to the main
grounds. The property has a significant large workshop and
garage at the entrance, with hard standing to the side and a
greenhouse at the rear.
To the rear of the house there is a detached modern garage with
electrically operated door.
The lawned gardens are delightful and the borders are superbly
stocked with flowers, plants and trees which give great screening
to the property and its surroundings.
The house itself is double glazed and has the benefit of gas
central heating, with underfloor heating to the majority of the
rooms.
The entrance includes a vestibule connecting to cloakroom/wc.

courtyard. The front approach to the house is attractive, with tall
Georgian style lantern lights and well stocked flower and shrub
borders.

and parking area, ideal for boat and caravan, as well as a useful
garden store shed. The tall trees surrounding the plot give great
screening.
