Set in an enviable elevated position above the picturesque Weardale village of Stanhope, this exceptional build plot offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home with breathtaking views of the North Pennines National Landscape.

Although not connected, mains electricity, water, and drainage are close by, streamlining the process of bringing essential services to the new home. The proposed floorplan for the permitted property offers flexible family living across two levels, with ample space to maximise the spectacular outlook from principal rooms. Whether you envision expansive open-plan living areas, generous bedrooms, or bespoke features to make the most of the setting, the possibilities are abundant.
