Honeysuckle House is a detached Victorian stone property set on the edge of the hamlet of Snaisgill, close to Middleton-in-Teesdale. The house offers exceptionally large accommodation across roughly 2,939 sq ft, including lounge, dining room, kitchen-diner, sunroom, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The position delivers wide rural views and a quiet, semi-rural setting with very low local crime and no flood risk.
The house is marketed as a renovation project. It currently shows wear: damp patches, worn floors, dated fixtures and scaffold-indicated roof repairs. The stone walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and likely uninsulated; heating is by LPG boiler and radiators. Recent double glazing has been installed (post-2002), which helps thermal performance despite the older fabric.
Key value drivers are the house’s scale, substantial garden and an option to buy approximately two acres of wildflower meadow by separate negotiation. A detached single garage and parking add practical benefit. Buyers should budget for renovation and roof work; the property suits someone seeking a large country home to restore or a developer/investor comfortable with refurbishment in a remoter agricultural community.
In short, this is a rare, spacious period property in a peaceful hill-country location. It will reward buyers who prioritise land, views and generous interior space and who are prepared to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment.
