Summary - 2, Over the Hill Farm Steadings, Newbottle DH4 4NY
4 bed 3 bath House
Large renovated four-bedroom home with private courtyards and countryside outlook.
Large newly renovated 4 double bedroom barn conversion
Set within a small hamlet of converted farm buildings and approached via a 400m private tree-lined drive, this newly renovated four-double-bedroom home combines farmhouse character with high-quality contemporary finishes. The ground floor offers two generous reception rooms, a striking dining kitchen with central island and bifold doors, plus two private sun-trap courtyards. Upstairs there are two en-suite bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom serving the other doubles; several rooms offer uninterrupted countryside views.
Practical strengths include a large double garage, covered rear parking and gated multi-vehicle parking to the front on a circa 1/4 acre plot. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating B. The impressive vaulted space off the kitchen creates flexible potential for a home office, studio or gym and could suit a household who needs adaptable workspace or hobby storage.
Buyers should note ongoing costs: the development uses a private treatment plant with an estimated charge of around £100 per month, there is an average service charge of £1,200, and local council tax is described as expensive. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Crime levels are above average in the wider area — the gated approach and private access offer some seclusion, but prospective purchasers should consider security and connectivity needs alongside the property's rural outlook.
This home will suit families or professionals seeking space, privacy and high-spec interiors in a semi-rural setting close to Sunderland, Durham and Washington. It presents a ready-to-live-in, high-spec conversion with clear potential to adapt the vaulted room to home-working or leisure use, but comes with running costs and external limitations (connectivity, area crime statistics) that are important to budget for.
