Tucked just off the A691 and four miles from Durham City, this semi-detached cottage offers generous living space across multiple levels and very large mature gardens. The house feels rural yet remains accessible for commuting and local shops, with vehicle access to both front and rear and private off-street parking.
Internally the property provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, a spacious living room with a multi-fuel burner, separate dining space, and a recently fitted bathroom. The footprint is above average for a cottage (approximately 1,582 sq ft), and several rooms retain period character such as fireplaces and tall windows.
There is genuine potential for improvement: the property is of solid brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, uses oil-fired central heating, and has double glazing fitted before 2002. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow; modernising heating, insulation and connectivity would improve comfort and running costs. Buyers should note there is a single bathroom and no recent test results for services, appliances, boiler or radiators.
Outside is a major selling point — broad lawns, mature borders, paved areas, and two small outbuildings used for coal and wood storage. The plot is unusually large for the area and suits buyers seeking outdoor space, room for storage, or scope to extend (subject to consents). This freehold cottage will appeal to families who value space and countryside views but expect some refurbishment to update energy efficiency and connectivity.
