Summary - Snows Green Cottage, Shotley Bridge DH8 0NJ
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Private, mature estate with significant garden and development potential.
- Four bedrooms and three reception rooms, retaining many period features
- Recently renovated kitchen and modern bathrooms, ensuite to guest bedroom
- Substantial, gated grounds with tennis lawn, greenhouse and summerhouse
- Large detached garage with caravan-height headroom and secure parking
- Plot had planning permission for two additional houses (previously secured)
- Footprint is relatively small (c.1,002 sq ft) despite large plot
- Likely stone walls without modern insulation; consider thermal upgrades
- Council Tax Band G and EPC currently awaited
Set beyond private gates in Plashetts, this four-bedroom detached cottage combines authentic period detail with recent upgrades and an exceptional, wildlife-rich plot. The house offers three reception rooms, a renovated kitchen with granite worktops, and contemporary bathrooms, including a generous ensuite. High ceilings, stained-glass windows and bay windows preserve character while modern heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort.
The main draw is the grounds: wide, tree-lined driveway, wrap-around gardens, a tennis lawn, greenhouse, summerhouse and a large detached garage with caravan-height headroom. The plot previously benefited from planning permission for two additional houses, giving clear development upside for a buyer seeking future value.
Practical points to note — the footprint is relatively modest (about 1,002 sq ft) compared with the substantial plot, council tax is high (Band G) and the EPC is awaited. The house was built c.1900–1929 with stone walls that likely lack modern cavity insulation, so buyers concerned with thermal performance should budget accordingly. Overall, this is a rare opportunity for a family wanting privacy, outdoor space and potential to enhance value.
