Summary - 21 SILVER STREET WOLSINGHAM BISHOP AUCKLAND DL13 3EJ
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming two-bed stone cottage overlooking Waskerley Beck — chain-free and holiday-let ready.
Chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage with period character
A stone-built mid-terrace cottage in picturesque Wolsingham, offered chain-free and currently operating as a successful holiday let. Built around 1800, the house combines period character—exposed stonework, beamed ceiling and a multi-fuel stove—with practical upgrades such as double glazing and a gas boiler. The open-plan ground floor feels welcoming; two first-floor bedrooms and a shower room suit couples, small families or short-stay guests.
The property’s small gravelled front garden and decking overlook the Waskerley Beck, creating a desirable suntrap and attractive view for visitors. There is off-street parking and multiple lockable outbuildings for storage or bikes, useful for holiday-let management or day-to-day living. EPC grade C and mains gas heating keep running costs reasonable; council tax is low (Band A).
Notable considerations: the plot is very small and outdoor space is limited, so buyers seeking a larger private garden should look elsewhere. The cottage sits in an area of historical mining activity — a mining search is recommended during conveyancing. Rooms are compact by modern standards, and the shower room is on the first floor only. These constraints are reflected in the asking price and suit buyers prioritising character and location over garden size.
For an investor this cottage offers an immediate income stream as an established holiday let and straightforward management thanks to its compact footprint and lockable storage. For a couple or first-time buyer wanting character in a quiet small-town setting, the property is a low-maintenance, chain-free option with clear potential to personalise interiors while preserving period charm.
