A substantial Victorian character property in Middleton‑in‑Teesdale, currently run as a successful Bed & Breakfast and offered with a separate two‑bedroom Coach House. The main house provides multiple reception rooms, five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with traditional features such as bay windows, period fireplaces and exposed beams that lend immediate charm and authenticity.
The site includes a paved forecourt providing off‑street parking for several vehicles, an enclosed rear garden with a terrace ‘secret garden’ overlooking Hudeshope Beck, and direct river frontage — strong assets for holiday letting or guest accommodation. The Coach House, accessed via the rear courtyard, offers independent two‑bed rental or ancillary living space and increases income flexibility.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area, heating is mixed (electric room heaters noted alongside oil-fired central heating), and the building will benefit from modernisation to meet current efficiency and letting standards. Council Tax is band E. The village is a remoter, conservation area location within the North Pennines AONB, with limited local services but strong visitor demand from walkers and cyclists.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or hospitality buyer seeking a period B&B with immediate trading potential, or for a family wanting a large multi‑room home with ancillary accommodation. The property’s charm, river aspect and parking are key strengths; expect planned refurbishment costs and attention to flood mitigation and heating upgrades.
