Butwell Cottage is a characterful, stone-built mid-terrace arranged over three floors, offering a deceptively spacious family home in the attractive village of Hamsterley. Original features such as exposed beams and a log burner create a cosy living room, while a ground-floor family/dining room with skylights and patio doors gives direct access to a useful rear garden for outdoor play and dining.
The house provides three bedrooms (two on the first floor and a third on the second), two bathrooms and a kitchen to the rear. Practical updates include double glazing fitted post-2002 and oil-fired central heating with radiators; the property also benefits from a wood-burning stove for atmospheric, supplementary heating. The plot includes a small lawned front garden and a larger rear garden with sheds, log stores and paved seating areas.
Important factual points for buyers: the property is freehold, sits in a rural village close to Weardale AONB and local schools rated Good to Outstanding, and has no recorded flood risk. The loft conversion predates modern building regulation sign-off and should be checked by a surveyor. There is no formal parking included in the title; the vendor currently uses adjacent parish land by right of access (this is recorded on the title). Buyers should be aware the stone walls are original granite/whinstone and assumed to be uninsulated internally.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a character property in a peaceful rural setting who are happy to accept some traditional maintenance and to commission checks on the loft and fabric. With scope to modernise or reconfigure internally, it offers clear potential for enhancing energy efficiency and living comfort while retaining period charm.
