Features and description

  • 3-bedroom detached cottage
  • Chain free
  • Ideal renovation project
  • 2 reception rooms
  • Integral garage
  • Located in the North Pennines, a recognised National Landscape

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque North Pennines, a recognised National Landscape, this three-bedroom detached stone cottage presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking a renovation project. Brought to the market CHAIN FREE, the property is brimming with potential and offers a versatile layout ideally suited to family life or those looking to create their dream rural retreat. The interior features two well-proportioned reception rooms, perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the fire on cooler evenings. The cottage’s character is evident in its traditional architectural features, while large windows throughout the home invite an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. An integral garage is accessed both internally via the coal store and externally via an up and over garage door, providing excellent convenience and further scope for development. The accommodation is arranged across two floors, with the ground floor comprising the two reception rooms and kitchen, while the first floor offers three spacious bedrooms and bathroom.

Externally, the South-facing garden to the front is bordered by a dry-stone wall and, although currently in need of clearance work, offers a well-proportioned garden area. This outdoor space provides ample room for garden furniture, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun while enjoying the peaceful rural surroundings. To the rear and Northern side of the property lies the large single garage, equipped with power and lighting, providing secure parking for one vehicle as well as valuable storage or workshop space. The garage benefits from two single-glazed wooden framed windows to the Western aspect, overlooking the rear of the property, and a further small window to the Eastern aspect, offering a glimpse into the living room.

Whether you are looking to create a family home or a peaceful countryside escape, this cottage invites you to unlock its full potential and make it your own.
