Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 5 bed detached stone house built 1830
  • Large garage/workshop
  • Currently used as a successful holiday let
  • Off-street parking available
  • Huge open plan kitchen/dining/living area
  • 2 en suites plus large family bathroom
  • Natural stone flooring in hallway
  • South facing rear paved garden
  • Quiet rural village location

A 5-bedroom stone house, situated in the quiet Weardale village of Rookhope. The property is currently used as a very successful holiday let, however it would equally make a fantastic large family home.

Entrance to the property is via a large hallway featuring huge flagstones likely laid when the property was built in 1830. The hallway runs the full length of the property with a large u-shaped staircase leading to the first floor. All rooms are currently of modern, neutral decor and feature wooden sash windows, each room feels very light and spacious.

The kitchen is situated at one end of a large open plan kitchen/dining room, there is currently a 10-seater dining table, yet the room still feels extremely spacious with plenty of room for the entire family. At the opposite end of the room there is a living area and access to the side entrance porch and downstairs WC. The ground floor also includes 2 further living rooms, one of which is currently being used as a games room. However, both rooms could be multipurpose to suit the new owners’ needs.

Upstairs, in addition to the 5 bedrooms there is a large family bathroom and 2 En suites. The significant floor space in the bathroom means that a large free-standing bath in the centre of the room would not look out of place should the new owners like to install one.

The property benefits from a quiet, south facing rear paved garden and a huge garage/workshop building. An annual parking permit is available for the village hall carpark immediately next door to the property.

Rooms

Hallway
1.19m x 9.24m + 3.64m x 1.9m Entrance to the property is via a large hallway featuring huge flagstones likely laid when the property was built in 1830. The hallway runs the full length of the property with a large u-shaped staircase leading to the first floor. Adjacent to the staircase is a doorway leading to a large under stairs storage cupboard, which in turn leads down to the cellar.

Living Room 4.48m x 4.22m (14ft 8in x 13ft 10in)
To the left of the entrance is a living room with neutral modern decor, which currently contains 3 sofas yet still feels spacious. With 2 wooden framed sash windows and high ceilings the room feels very light and spacious.

Kitchen/Dining/Living Room 4.15m x 9.22m (13ft 7in x 30ft 2in)
Halfway down the hallway and opposite the staircase a door leads through into the large open plan Kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is situated at one end of this room, with a range of modern kitchen units, integrated appliances and large worksurfaces. In the centre of the room there is currently a 10-seater dining table yet the room still feels extremely spacious and light with the modern decor similar to that of the living room. At the opposite end of the room there is a further seating area currently home to 2 sofas and a coffee table. This room really does provide plenty of space for the entire family.

Games Room 4.26m x 2.92m (13ft 11in x 9ft 6in)
As the property is used as a holiday let, the reception room to the rear of the house is currently set up as a games room. However, if the property was to become a family home this room could be a living room, dining room or office to suit the new owners' needs. Again, the light and spacious theme continues, with a further 2 wooden frame sash windows and modern, neutral decor.

Side Entrance Porch 1.28m x 1m (4ft 2in x 3ft 3in)
There are 3 entrances to this property, front and back doors as you would expect, but the 3rd entrance is situated on the western side of the building. This leads into a small entrance porch.

WC 1.27m x 0.77m (4ft 2in x 2ft 6in)
Accessible from the side entrance porch and the kitchen/dining room is a WC with corner wash basin.

Landing 4.59m x 1.94m (15ft x 6ft 4in)
The u-shaped staircase leads up to a large central landing, with doorways to the 5 bedrooms and family bathroom.

Bedroom 1 3.47m x 4.26m (11ft 4in x 13ft 11in)
The first bedroom on your right at the top of the stairs is a spacious double room in with an integrated storage cupboard and a feature fireplace, as can be found in a number of rooms in the house.

Bedroom 2 3.56m x 4.18m (11ft 8in x 13ft 8in)
Bedroom 2 is another spacious double room, but this one has an En suite.

Bedroom 2 En suite 1.16m x 1.65m (3ft 9in x 5ft 4in)
The Bedroom 2 En suite contains a WC, corner basin and raised corner shower cubicle.

Bedroom 3 3.53m x 4.12m (11ft 6in x 13ft 6in)
Bedroom 3 is a large double room, again very light and spacious and containing another En suite.

Bedroom 3 En suite 1.77m x 1.77m (5ft 9in x 5ft 9in)
The En suite in Bedroom 3 is the larger of the 2, with a large walk in shower, WC and rectangular wash basin.

Bedroom 4 3.46m x 2.93m (11ft 4in x 9ft 7in)
Bedroom 4 is currently set up as a twin room but could equally be another double room.

Bedroom 5 3.40m x 2.95m (11ft 1in x 9ft 8in)
The 5th and final bedroom is very similar to bedroom 4, currently set up as a twin but could become a double if required.

Bathroom 3.39m x 3.12m (11ft 1in x 10ft 2in)
This substantially sized family bathroom contains a large bath with overhead shower and glass screen, a rectangular hand basin, WC and integrated storage cupboards. The significant floor space means that a large free standing bath in the centre of the room would not look out of place should the new owners wish to install one.

Garage 13.06m x 5m (42ft 10in x 16ft 4in)
The garage/workshop is currently divided into 2 rooms, one 9.39m in length, the other 3.67m, both rooms measure 5m across. Although both rooms do have power and lighting, the garage/workshop building is in need of a new roof should it see use on a more regular basis than it currently does.

Garden
To the rear of the property is a quiet, south facing paved garden with gravelled seating area. The garden provides access to both rooms of the garage/workshop through separate doorways.

Parking - Garage

Parking - Permit
An annual parking permit is available for the village hall carpark immediately next door to the property.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
