Renovated three-bedroom cottage with lucrative livery and development potential close to Gateshead.
20 stables, hay barn, ménage and circa 15 acres of paddock
Set within a secluded courtyard and enjoying a south-facing garden, this renovated stone bungalow combines period character with contemporary comforts. The single-storey accommodation has three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, vaulted living room with exposed beams, and a kitchen/dining room fitted with modern shaker units and quartz worktops. The house is immediately liveable and well suited to families wanting ground-floor convenience.
The property's standout asset is the extensive equestrian yard: 20 stables, a hay barn, ménage and about 15 acres of paddock and hacking. Currently run as a successful livery, the yard offers ongoing business income or adaptable space for other animal-based enterprises. The land and stable block are brownfield and may offer development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the stables/land development is only possible with planning approval, the property uses a shared septic tank, and the listed sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated. The EPC is D. Broadband is available via Three at around 22 Mbps; mobile signal is reported excellent. These factors are important for anyone planning significant change or expansion.
In short, 4 Leam Court is a rare countryside cottage close to Gateshead with immediate family appeal and significant commercial or development potential for purchasers prepared to investigate planning, services and energy improvements.
