Spectacular modern mansion at Ramside Park on sale for £2m

This truly spectacular modern mansion is situated on an exclusive development of just a handful of individually-built mansions. While its location is without doubt a draw card, it is the sheer scale of the property, its opulence and its magnificent interior – straight from the pages of Town & Country or a high-end coffee table design book – that are sure to impress.

Developed in 2016 by the current owners, the house – which extends to over 7,500sq.ft – has been carefully planned to create and wonderful flow and finished to an exceptionally high standard.

There has been no compromise on design, a fact which is obvious from the moment you step through the large black ash double doors and into the impressive central hallway. Adding to the grandeur of this space is a sweeping, illuminated staircase which spirals up through the property and is lit by a bespoke 16ft crystal chandelier which commands attention at its centre.

To the rear of the hall are wall-to-ceiling windows which allow natural light to flood into the room and offer views of the gardens and sunken rear terrace.

From the hall the property splits into two 'wings' – one being home to the formal lounge (with feature padded walls) which opens into the children’s playroom and, in turn, out onto a terraced play area via sliding patio doors.

The other ground floor wing comprises a large open-plan space divided into three specific areas – a family room, dining area with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and a luxury kitchen with Silestone quartz worktops, fitted Fisher & Paykel appliances, a central island unit and a large breakfast bar. A ‘secret cupboard’ within the kitchen leads you through to a spacious walk-in larder and utility room, which have a door into the garage.

On the first floor are a generous master bedroom with a seating area plus a luxurious bathroom with a grand double bath with hidden TV, waterfall shower and matching vanity areas, plus two further bedrooms, both with spectacular en-suites. The sweeping staircase continues up to the second floor where there are two bedrooms, both currently fully fitted as individual his/hers dressing rooms which could rival any high-end boutique.

If you're one of those for whom enough is never enough you'll be pleased to discover the stunning lower ground floor. Perfect for entertaining, relaxing and recharging your batteries, it leads from an impressive hallway into a tranquil, fully tiled spa room fitted with a large Jacuzzi bath and separate shower/changing facilities; a family cinema room complete with its own concession area, and a lavish games room with pool table, bespoke fitted bar and central seating area. There's also an extensive guest bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite.

Both the games room and guest bedroom have access to the outside sunken terrace area via bi-fold doors.

Augusta oozes luxury and style at every turn, from its handmade chrome inlayed ash pocket doors to its contemporary crystal lighting, feature padded crushed velvet walls and high-end fixtures and fittings.

Although it's a thoroughly modern mansion, a great deal of care and attention has been taken to ensure the house is first and foremost a home.

Augusta is located in the corner of the estate on a plot which extends to around half an acre and is accessed via remote gates then up a long driveway to an expanse of block paving which provides parking for up to eight or ten vehicles – and the garage. The extensive professionally-designed grounds, whilst not a necessity as the property is next to a golf course, do provide a high degree of seclusion and privacy. They include a mix of soft and hard landscaping, immaculately kept lawns to the front and rear, and areas perfect for relaxing on and entertaining guests. Without doubt the highlight of the outdoor areas is the show-stopping sunken sun terrace and seating area with glazed banister rails, illuminated stone steps and a bioethanol fuelled fireplace.

The house itself has been built to code 4 for sustainable homes and has achieved the highest A star rating. Double gas boilers provide underfloor heating throughout all four levels of the property.

Augusta also includes a Denon multi-room audio system in every room and on the outside terrace, an 11-camera security/CCTV system and a wireless Heatmiser heating system, which can all be controlled via smartphone apps.

The house is within walking distance of the surrounding golf courses, with all the facilities of the Ramside complex close by. It is also only two miles to the east of Durham, offering a country feel with all the benefits of being close to the city.

Augusta is on the market at a guide price of £2m.
