Large renovated 5-bed cottage with double garage and countryside views.
Newly renovated stone cottage retaining period character
A newly renovated five-bedroom stone cottage set on a large plot with countryside views of Tanfield Railway. The conversion keeps traditional character — original stone walls and slate roof — while offering an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, two wood-burning stoves and a substantial detached double garage/workshop. The property sits on a private road within an exclusive development, combining seclusion with easy links to Whickham, Sunniside and the A1.
Inside, generous reception rooms and a bespoke oak-and-glass staircase lead to a master suite with en-suite and integrated wardrobes. The fully tiled family bathroom provides both bath and separate shower; several bedrooms include built-in storage. Landscaped front and rear gardens, a patio and ample on-site parking complete the family-friendly layout.
Important practical points: the building is pre-1900 stone construction with assumed no wall insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is described as expensive. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. Buyers should verify planning/building consents for the conversion, fixtures, and services prior to purchase.
