This chain-free two-bedroom end-terrace stone cottage sits in the North Pennines National Landscape, offering a quiet base for countryside living. The house has generous attic storage with a rooflight, a secure south-facing garden and plentiful on-street parking close by. Interiors are period in character with a large living room and a partly fitted kitchen with patio doors to the garden.
The property requires cosmetic modernisation throughout — the bathroom and some internal finishes need updating, and walls are likely uninsulated (as-built sandstone/limestone). Heating is by an oil boiler and radiators; buyers should note ongoing fuel and maintenance costs. There is a dry cellar for extra storage and small room sizes typical of a Victorian cottage.
Practical considerations: the plot is small, broadband speeds are average, and the location is rural and remote with amenities about one mile away in St Johns Chapel. Flood risk is recorded as medium. Positives include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal, very low council tax, and the chance to personalise the home to modern standards. This property suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting an affordable country starter with renovation potential.
