Try ’Em All Farm is a traditional four-bedroom farmhouse set within nearly 4 acres of grassland and outbuildings, ideal for equestrian use or small-scale farming. The house provides generous reception rooms with two brick fireplaces and a kitchen diner with Rangemaster, plus useful outbuildings including a stable block, tack room and double garage. Mature garden, orchard and multiple paddocks offer immediate agricultural and leisure use.
Practical points include oil-fired central heating, double glazing and mains electricity, water and drainage to the farmhouse. The land is split into four paddocks (around 1 acre each) with two yard access points and a field shelter in one paddock. There is ample parking behind the property and good mobile signal — useful for rural working households and those needing reliable phone connectivity.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the property has an Energy Performance Certificate rating of F 34 and the sandstone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy costs and retrofit work are likely. Broadband speeds are described as very slow and the land itself is not connected to mains water (a supply exists at the stables). The property is set in a deprived area classification which may affect local services and resale dynamics.
Overall this is a substantial rural opportunity for someone seeking immediate equestrian or smallholding capability with scope to improve energy efficiency and connectivity. Viewings recommended for purchasers seeking spacious grounds, outbuildings and countryside living within commuting distance of Durham.
