A traditional mid-terraced stone cottage set on the edge of Butterknowle, offered with no onward chain. The house sits in a rural hamlet and delivers genuine countryside living with uninterrupted views from both front and rear windows. The solid-fuel stove with back boiler provides a period-appropriate heating source and characterful focal point in the sitting room.
Accommodation is straightforward: entrance porch, open-plan living/dining room with bay window and storage under the stairs, a galley kitchen and ground-floor bathroom, with two double bedrooms and fitted cupboards upstairs. The property includes an enclosed rear yard, small front garden and a detached garage — useful for parking or storage in this remoter community.
The cottage has charm and potential but will suit buyers prepared to update parts of the interior. The living room ceiling and some fixtures are dated and the kitchen may benefit from modernisation to improve functionality and energy efficiency. Tenure paperwork indicates freehold though the title is not yet registered; buyers should confirm this via their solicitor.
Practical considerations: connectivity is good for the area with fast broadband; mobile signal is average. The property lies in a historical mining area — no known building safety issues reported, but a chartered survey is recommended. Council tax is in a low band, and there is very low flood risk.
