Located within the exclusive Woodlands Hall Estate near Knitsley, Garden Cottage is one of just eight unique homes accessed via a grand, tree-lined driveway. Originally built in 1779 by Robert Adam for landscape designer Thomas White, the estate holds rich historic charm.
The cottage itself offers character and modern comfort in equal measure. The entrance hall leads into a spacious, open-plan kitchen/diner featuring high-end 'Omega' fittings, Miele appliances, a central island, and underfloor heating. A separate reception area and cosy living room with log burner open into a stunning garden room with full-height glazed sliding doors—perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, you'll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with dual-aspect views and a sleek en-suite with Villeroy & Boch fittings. The family bathroom is equally impressive, with a four-piece suite and high-end finishes. Bedroom three, currently used as a study, offers flexibility for home working or guests.
Outside, the home enjoys a private lawned garden and patio area, plus a single garage and additional parking.
Garden Cottage offers the best of rural living with modern convenience—just a short drive from the vibrant village of Lanchester, the market town of Consett, and within easy reach of Durham and Newcastle. With no onward chain, this turnkey home is ready for immediate enjoyment.
Location:
The nearby village of Lanchester, just two miles away, provides a vibrant community atmosphere with a variety of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants.

Just a few minutes from the property is the award-winning Knitsley Farm Shop, offering high-quality local produce and a popular café, while The Old Mill restaurant nearby is well known for its excellent food and welcoming atmosphere.
