Summary - Sparks Cottage, Rotton Row, Wooler, County Durham DH1 2NQ
5 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Large period end-terrace on massive plot with development potential and countryside views.
Five double bedrooms with original Victorian features
A rare chance to own a large, period end-terraced house in Shincliffe Village, just outside Durham City. The property retains many original Victorian features and sits in a substantial plot with beautifully kept formal gardens, off-street parking and sweeping countryside views — ideal for buyers wanting space, character and privacy.
The house requires a program of renovation and updating throughout, which presents scope to restore period detail and reconfigure rooms to modern living standards. A large detached garage/storage building on site may offer development potential to create a separate dwelling, subject to planning permission. Adjacent grassed pasture of about 3.36 acres is included in the curtilage, adding rare acreage for amenity or potential future use (overage may apply if additional planning is sought).
Internally the accommodation currently offers multiple reception rooms, a kitchen with pantry and Aga, utility and cloakroom, plus five bedrooms and a family bathroom. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; the property is of solid brick construction and will benefit from insulation and general modernisation. EPC rating E and council tax described as quite expensive — budget for running costs and upgrade works.
This property will suit buyers seeking a substantial family home with room to extend, developers/investors exploring conversion potential, or anyone wanting to create a bespoke period residence in a premier village location. Viewings recommended for those ready to take on a renovation project with significant scope and a rare plot in a very affluent area.
