Dykalo Lodge is a spacious four-bedroom detached home set on the edge of Woodland, with expansive countryside views over lower Teesdale and the North Pennines. The house offers generous reception space — sitting/dining room, living room, study — and a practical kitchen with adjoining utility, suiting family life and flexible working at home. A large double garage, gated driveway and substantial front and rear gardens add real everyday convenience and outdoor space for children and pets.
The accommodation includes a master bedroom with en suite plus three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Double glazing and oil-fired central heating are installed throughout; the property is chain-free which supports a quicker sale. Broadband speeds are reported fast and local schools are rated Good, making the location suitable for families who prioritise countryside living with essential amenities within driving distance.
Buyers should note the interior shows mid-20th-century detailing and some dated finishes — carpeting, textured wallpaper and original woodwork — so cosmetic updating or modernisation will be needed to bring the house up to contemporary standards. Heating runs on a private oil-fired boiler, which can be more expensive than mains gas and requires an accessible fuel supply.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home on a generous plot with superb views and scope for improvement. It will suit purchasers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle who are prepared to invest in modernising the interior while benefiting from ample space and strong outdoor amenities.
