Tucked beside Whickham with sweeping views across the Derwent Valley, this two-bedroom stone bungalow blends countryside character with practical living. The open-plan sitting and dining room centres on a wood-burning stove, creating a warm, social hub for everyday life and entertaining. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room; a separate utility room adds practical convenience.
Externally the property sits around a gravelled courtyard with off-street parking and a private lawned garden, ideal for relaxed outdoor dining and enjoying the elevated vistas. Constructed c.1900–1929 from stone, the cottage retains traditional appeal while offering scope to update finishes and services to modern standards.
Buyers should note a few material factors: heating is provided by an LPG boiler rather than mains gas, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important for those working from home. The walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone and the energy rating is currently low, so improvement work may be needed to raise efficiency and running costs. Overall, this is a characterful, freehold rural home suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a countryside retreat ready for sympathetic modernisation.
