Set above the River Tees, this five-bedroom detached house sits on a very large plot with extensive river frontage and mature gardens. It offers genuine scope for a growing family: versatile existing accommodation, attractive outdoor space, and approved planning to substantially enlarge and remodel the dwelling and add a detached double garage with cellar and accommodation above.
The current house dates from the 1970s and is ready for comprehensive updating. Approved plans show an extended ground floor, five bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor, plus a glazed penthouse on a new second floor — a clear route to create a striking riverside home. The plot’s size and privacy give room for family living, landscaping, and leisure by the riverbank.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, connected to mains gas and services, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed before 2002. Good local schools, village amenities and easy road and rail links make this a convenient village location for commuters and families.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the house requires renovation throughout, council tax is quite expensive (Band G), and there is a medium flood risk because the gardens slope down to the river. These factors should be weighed alongside the planning consent and large plot when considering future costs and insurance requirements.
