2 The Stables occupies a wonderful location within the Hermitage Estate. Located in the outer courtyard, this individual bungalow is one of the few properties that enjoy the benefit of their own private back garden, with a south-facing aspect and open outlook over the lawns and woodland. The Stables is accessed via the gated courtyard, which provides parking for the five properties set around it. The hall has double doors opening to the stunning, spacious lounge/dining room, measuring approximately 17ft square and featuring a high ceiling with downlighters and double doors opening to the patio and garden. The fitted kitchen includes a cooking range and an extractor canopy. The double bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe. The spacious refitted bathroom extends to over 12ft and includes a free-standing bath and separate shower enclosure. There is ample parking in the courtyard and in the parking area to the front of the mansion house, but the property also has one of the limited number of large garages within the adjacent block.
The Hermitage Estate
Constructed at the turn of the 19th Century, this magnificent mansion house is set in approximately 70 acres of park and woodland and typifies the gracious living afforded to the landed gentry of the time. The estate has been sympathetically converted into a limited number of luxury houses and apartments while retaining the priceless character of an historic building. Occupants of the estate have the privileged use of the estate facilities, which include the splendid communal entrance hall, large Victorian conservatory, indoor heated swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna, tennis court, and lake. The extensive grounds provide a beautiful setting with scenic woodland and riverside walks. Remote-controlled gates and a video entry system give access to the estate.
Location.The Hermitage is located at the southern fringe of Chester-le-Street. The town is a principal location for those seeking easy access throughout the North East, and the A167, A693, A183, and A1M interchange provide excellent road links. The town, therefore, not only offers an excellent range of shops, schools, and amenities but also easy access to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, and the major airports at Newcastle and Teesside. Chester-le-Street also offers a railway station on the main east coast line.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
