This Grade II listed stone house combines period charm with recent renovation in the peaceful village of Woodland, on the edge of the North Pennines AONB. The interior is well presented and arranged over multiple levels, with four bedrooms—two benefitting from en-suite facilities—making it suitable for families who need flexible space and guest accommodation. The property footprint is compact (about 888 sq ft), so rooms are efficient rather than expansive.
Outside there is a neat front lawn with patio, a walled courtyard and small lawn to the rear, plus a detached stone byre offering a garage and store — a rare and useful outbuilding for village homes. Fast broadband, good mobile signal and proximity to well-rated primary and secondary schools add practical appeal for families and those working from home.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; the original stone walls likely have no insulation, and heating is by an oil-fired boiler, which may be costlier than mains gas alternatives. Double glazing was fitted before 2002, so some thermal and acoustic improvement potential remains. Overall, this is a characterful, newly refreshed family home for someone who values setting, heritage and a useful outbuilding, and who is prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities.
