This well-presented three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage sits on Front Street in Esh and offers striking 180° rear views across open countryside, with the Penshaw Monument visible in the distance. The ground floor features an open-plan lounge and dining area leading to a fitted kitchen; French doors open onto a raised deck that maximises the panoramic outlook. The house is double glazed and benefits from LPG-fired central heating plus a log burner for extra warmth. An attic room accessed by a permanent staircase provides useful storage or occasional extra space.
The first floor houses three bedrooms and a bathroom with both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. The property is freehold, around 952 sq ft, and sits in a small plot with a small front garden and on-street parking. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs lower than many similar homes, and broadband speeds are reported as fast — useful for remote working or family connectivity.
Buyers should note this is a character cottage built before 1900 with stone walls assumed uninsulated. Heating runs on LPG and coal (main fuel listed as house coal) rather than mains gas; the vendor also highlights the property lies within a coal mining reporting area, so specialist searches are recommended. The plot is modest in size and parking is on-street only — factors to consider if external space or private parking is a priority.
This home will suit a family or buyers seeking a countryside-facing village cottage with ready-to-live-in accommodation and strong scope for energy-efficiency upgrades. A viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional rear outlook and the living flow between the open-plan reception rooms and the decked terrace.
