Set in a private position in Low Etherley, this stone-built four-bedroom cottage blends rural peace with commuter convenience. Recently refurbished fittings and mains gas central heating create a comfortable, move-in ready home, while a gravel driveway and generous lawned garden provide outdoor space and parking for several vehicles.
The house keeps original period character alongside practical modern updates: a living room, dining room, kitchen and conservatory provide flexible ground-floor living, with four double bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. The property is offered chain free and sits a short drive from Bishop Auckland with easy links to the A68 and A1(M), making it suitable for families who need schools and amenities nearby.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the EPC is grade E, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, and the date of double-glazing installation is unknown. As a property constructed before 1900 and semi-detached, some ongoing maintenance or further insulating work may be needed to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
Overall this cottage will appeal to buyers seeking character and a private plot in a semi-rural setting, who value spacious bedrooms, off-street parking and quick access to local schools and transport routes. The large garden and private approach offer scope for further landscaping or enhancement subject to planning and personal taste.
