Summary - West House, Haswell DH6 2AY
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
3-bedroom barn conversion with modern kitchen and double glazing
Set on about 4.46 acres, this three‑bed barn conversion offers an immediately usable equestrian setup: nine stables in a large shed, an all‑weather arena and three outbuildings for tack and feed. The dwelling is a modern farmhouse‑style conversion with a bright kitchen, double glazing and off‑street parking with a gated gravel driveway. The total living area is modest (approx. 1,088 sq ft), suited to owners wanting a manageable home alongside substantial grazing and working land.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating and hot water are provided by an oil‑fired boiler (private supply), drainage is to a shared private septic tank, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — common in rural hamlet locations. The site is freehold, accessed by a tarmac track, and lies roughly eight miles east of Durham with local primary and secondary schools rated Good within reach.
This property will suit buyers specifically seeking a ready‑to‑use small equestrian or smallholding unit rather than those wanting a low‑maintenance suburban home. The stables, arena and outbuildings present immediate operational value but also ongoing maintenance costs typical of equestrian holdings. Prospective purchasers should budget for routine upkeep of buildings, land management and private drainage arrangements.
Financially the lot offers a large rural plot attached to a three‑bed barn conversion at a headline price of £470,000. The hamlet setting provides privacy and open views but reflects a very deprived wider area classification and limited local services; factors to weigh for everyday convenience and resale considerations.
