Set on a generous plot on Copley Bent, this detached four-bedroom house offers bright, well-proportioned family accommodation and far-reaching rural views. Ground floor living includes a large living/dining room with a solid-fuel Aga, a separate snug with multi-fuel stove, kitchen, and a substantial utility room with patio access. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a generous master with ensuite, and a sizeable family bathroom. The layout suits families who need separate reception spaces and roomy bedrooms.
Practical additions include fitted solar panels and a large garage with electric roller door, plus a wide driveway providing off-street parking. The sizeable front and rear gardens, paved patio, vegetable patch and greenhouse will appeal to gardeners and families who value outdoor space. Broadband is reported fast, while local primary and secondary schools and nearby towns provide wider amenities.
Buyers should note a few material points: the main heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, the external walls are traditional sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation, and the current EPC is grade D (owners have carried out improvements and a new rating is pending). Mobile signal is reported as none in this location. These factors may mean running costs, retrofit or improvement work, and planning for heating/insulation upgrades.
Overall this is a village-edge family home with strong outdoor appeal, generous internal space and clear potential to improve energy performance further. It will suit purchasers wanting rural tranquillity with good road links to Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle, and buyers prepared to budget for insulation, heating or cosmetic upgrades where needed.
