Grade II cottage with garden and no onward chain, ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Opposite village green with pleasant village outlook
Set opposite the village green in picturesque South Green, this Grade II terraced cottage blends period character with surprisingly generous living space. The house has traditional features, two reception rooms and a conservatory overlooking a mature rear garden — a rare private outdoor retreat in a village setting. With no onward chain the property is ready for a new owner to personalise.
The layout reads as deceptively spacious: a front sitting room, through dining room, kitchen, conservatory and small rear garden on the ground floor, with a double bedroom, bathroom and an additional WC/attic room above (the upper room has restricted head height). The plot is modest, but the established garden provides a peaceful external space and good scope for low-maintenance planting or a small entertaining patio.
Practical considerations are important: the house is Listed (Grade II), which may restrict external and some internal alterations and could complicate works. The property would benefit from internal modernisation to unlock its full value, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. Shared access with the neighbouring property gives entry to the rear courtyard.
This home suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting village life near Darlington and Barnard Castle, or an investor seeking a compact, character rental. Its low council tax band and gas central heating keep running costs down, but any buyer should budget for listed-property requirements and refurbishment to modern standards.
