This stone-built cottage sits on a good sized plot, of approximately 0.75 acres, has been renovated to an extremely high standard. It is perfectly located for somebody looking for a home in an attractive rural location with walking and cycling opportunities straight out of the front door, or for someone wishing to establish their own small holding. It is located ideally for unobstructed views over Alston Moor and Nent Valley, and down towards the market town of Alston.

The versatile living accommodation is arranged on split levels and offered in excellent order throughout. There is flexibility within the layout to utilise certain rooms in a different configuration to suit the new occupants own personal needs. The cellar/utility room also lends itself to a number of uses; utility room, overflow storage, workshop/hobby room, gym and leisure room. Externally, there is a very large detached garage which could take up to three cars. Alternatively, it could be utilised as a workshop, studio space or storage for sports equipment. There is additional off-street parking either side of the garage.

The cottage has been comprehensively renovated to an extremely high standard using natural building products (breathable natural insulation, plasters and paints) which benefit both the building and its occupants. During the works the current owners have also installed double glazing and efficient electric thermostatically controlled radiators, had a full new electrical installation, new plumbing system, new energy efficient hot water tank, new drainage, new mains water supply, newly fitted quality bathroom and kitchen, new flooring, installed new staircases, structural steels, added insulation throughout the property, undertaken external repointing in lime mortar and landscaping.

Wardway Foot sits above the village, just beyond Wellhope Gill, with superb views over the Nent Valley and it is on the National Cycle Route. Nenthead is a former lead mining village set in an AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty) and has a Primary School, village shop and Post Office and places to eat. Nenthead is approximately 5 miles from Alston where there is a wider range of shops and services to cater for your daily needs including Senior School, garages and supermarkets.

Please note, the EPC was assessed before the renovations were carried out.
