Summary - THE OLD NATIONAL SCHOOL THE BUTTS ALSTON CA9 3JQ
2 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Detached stone bungalow, pre-1900 character
Set in the North Pennines National Landscape, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a quietly rural lifestyle with generous outdoor space. The stone-built cottage retains period character outside while presenting a well-presented, practical interior arranged mostly on one level — an easy option for downsizers or those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The plot is a clear strength: a large, landscaped garden and a wide gravel driveway provide private outdoor living and ample off-street parking. The living area is bright and flexible with contemporary wood flooring and a focal fireplace; the kitchen is fitted for everyday cooking and family meals. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating.
Buyers should note the property is an older build (pre-1900) with stone walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and could require insulation upgrades. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the home sits in a small-town fringe location with limited local services compared with larger centres. There is no flood risk and crime is low.
Offered freehold and chain-free, the bungalow is well placed for local schools, community amenities and outdoor recreation. It will suit buyers wanting a characterful, single-storey home with scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes rather than a completely new build.
