Character stone cottage on 1.44 acres; major renovation required, no onward chain..
Approximately 1.44 acres of land and private views
Set in a tiny hamlet of Upper Teesdale, this stone-built cottage sits on approximately 1.44 acres and offers sweeping rural views and privacy. The house retains traditional character — granite walls, chimney, and compact rooms — and will suit someone who values countryside setting and scope to improve. It is offered with no onward chain.
The accommodation is modest (around 790 sq ft) with three bedrooms, one bathroom and about seven rooms in total. The property requires full modernisation: cosmetic updating, likely insulation and heating upgrades, and general refurbishment. Main heating is oil-fired boiler with radiators; walls are original stone with no assumed insulation.
Practical positives include a driveway, paved yard, garden and extensive land suited to grazing, hobby farming or landscaping. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as good, and the immediate area is very low crime and pleasantly remote. Buyers should note access to amenities is rural — Middleton-in-Teesdale is about three miles away for shops and services.
This is a renovation-focused opportunity for a buyer wanting a character cottage with significant outdoor space. It will appeal to those prepared for works who want to create a bespoke rural home rather than a move-in-ready property.
