Mirkwood Cottage is an immaculate two bedroom semi detached home built in the 1800's with superb countryside views situated in a pleasant hamlet on the outskirts of Durham City. The stunning property retains its country cottage feel while providing modern and stylish living and has been updated to a high standard by the current owner. Beautifully positioned the home offers open plan accommodation to the ground floor with a deceptively spacious floor plan that briefly comprises: entrance porch, living room with a working log burner at the heart of the room, a modern kitchen and a dining area with French doors to the private rear garden. To the first floor there is a landing leading to the two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. Externally the lovely cottage sits on a good sized plot with a fully enclosed private garden to the rear of the home which is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area and stunning views to the rear directly over a paddock and the surrounding countryside beyond. The garden has the additional benefit of a brick built storage area and a superb summer house has been constructed with full building regulations and has been beautifully designed with plastered walls, laminate flooring, inset ceiling spotlights, a double glazed window to the rear aspect with outstanding views, a work top unit with mains plumbing for a sink unit and double glazed French doors to the rear garden. To the front of the house there is also off street parking for a couple of cars and a detached timber built garage. The property is currently a cosy family home and would be equally as suitable as a holiday home or an rental house therefore early viewings on this beautiful cottage are strongly recommended.
