Low Fewster Gill comprises a unique detached house of traditional construction with a cream render with pantile roof. The property is immaculate and has undergone extensive renovation and improvement during the vendors 16-year ownership.

The accommodation is beautifully presented to exacting standards and extends to 2,400 ft2. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and is fully double glazed. It is superbly appointed with first class fixtures and fittings including a variety of unique Granite worksurfaces and Limestone tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms.

The property is entered by a welcoming and spacious entrance hall which features Limestone flooring. Steps then lead down into a restful snug area with multi fuel burning stove and a separate cloakroom.

To the left as you enter the property is the stunning kitchen diner. This large room features a quality fitted kitchen with a range of units complemented by a central island and granite worksurfaces. There are a range of high-quality appliances hob with downdraft extractor fan, space for double fridge freezer and dishwasher. The triple aspect allows for lots of natural light and gives easy access to the patio and delightful gardens and there is ample space for a family dining table and seating area.

Back across the reception hall is a single bedroom or home office which is currently used as a music room.

Also, on the ground floor is a library, a large living room with green oak windows and high vaulted ceiling with a triple aspect and doors leading out to the patio and gardens. There is also a large utility room with a range of fitted units, plumbing for a washing machine and storage space together with a separate WC.

The principal bedroom suite is situated on the ground floor which enjoys stunning views across the valley. This room features a range of fitted wardrobes together with a secret door leading down into a modern ensuite complete with sauna.

To the first floor there are two further double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

Externally the property is complemented by substantial gardens and grounds which wrap around the property and provide a high degree of privacy and tranquility.

The house garden features a range of mixed flower beds and borders with ample patio for seating and potted plants. There is a large lawn with a separate orchard with a range of fruit trees which currently has a hen house providing an ideal home for chickens. There is a summer house complete with log burning stove which provides an excellent space for enjoying the surroundings. There is also a large vegetable plot together with soft fruit trees and sizeable greenhouse.

There is approximately 13.22 acres of land including wildflower meadow, a mix of mature and young native tree woodland and a stretch of riverbank along the River Tees which includes fishing rights. The vendors have worked hard to restore the land and have planted over 2,000 native trees during the ownership providing an ideal habitat for wildlife.

Amongst the woodland there is a secluded, handcrafted fishing hut which won an award in the “Shed of the Year” - Natures Haven category 2022. This charming building is well equipped with a bed, a log burning stove and small kitchenette. This provides an excellent retreat in the idyllic surroundings.

There is also a range of useful buildings providing excellent storage which include stabling, a double garage and a second building featuring a workshop and garden equipment store. Historically, there has been planning permission for conversion of this building to form ancillary accommodation. This permission has since lapsed and a prospective buyer should make their own enquiries.

The land is in excellent order and would lend itself to those buyers with equestrian interest as well as those wishing for a lifestyle change.

Overall Low Fewster Gill offers a very rare opportunity to own a unique and individual country property. Viewing is strongly advised.
