3 bed cottage for sale

Church Square, Bishop Auckland DL14

Offered with no onward chain and immediate vacant possession. This deceptively spacious 3 bedroom stone built period property was originally part of a farmhouse that was built in the early 1800s. It was converted into three spacious cottages around 1910, still boasts many original features and is absolutely bursting with character. It is in need of modernisation, but this blank canvas would make a perfect countryside retreat, in this sleepy picturesque village. The roof was completely renewed in 2021 and a new Baxi combi boiler installed in 2022.

Situated in the village of High Etherley, surrounded by rolling countryside, whilst also being close to local amenities and just 3.5 miles from the market town of Bishop Auckland, with a great range of schools, shopping and recreational facilities.

This property benefits from having retained many of it's original features throughout and the internal layout briefly comprises of, central hallway, original staircase, a very well proportioned lounge with feature fireplace, a separate dining room which rivals the lounge with its space and character, and a kitchen with utility/storage room, and downstairs WC. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two being spacious doubles and a family bathroom.

Externally to the front of the property there is a stone wall enclosed cottage garden - which is mature and well stocked. To the rear of the property there is an enclosed yard with access to the storage room and leading to ample off-road parking available to residents.

In our opinion this unique property requires an internal viewing to appreciate the accommodation available.

Please note: Part of the title is a flying freehold.
