Set over three floors, this end-of-terrace cottage combines Victorian character with useful modern upgrades. The bright living room features a bay window and a brick fireplace with a log-burning stove, while a separate dining room opens through French doors onto a private rear courtyard — good for alfresco meals and safe outdoor play. The attic room, with exposed beams and skylights, provides flexible space for a home office, playroom or occasional guest room.
Practical details suit a range of buyers: freehold tenure, very low council tax (Band A), fast broadband and reliable transport links to Bishop Auckland, Darlington and Durham. Cockfield village amenities — shop, post office and a well-rated primary school — are within easy walking distance, and larger towns are a short drive away.
There are some trade-offs to note. The plot is small with just a forecourt garden and enclosed courtyard; the property uses oil-fired central heating and the stone walls are likely uninsulated (original construction pre-1900), which may mean higher running costs and potential improvement work. Accommodation is compact overall with a single bathroom and some rooms described as small, so buyers seeking large gardens or extensive living space should look cautiously.
For families or buyers seeking a characterful village home with scope to improve, this house offers strong value at the asking price. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, the attic’s potential and the convenient village location.
