A substantial Victorian stone house set on the edge of Shotley Bridge, offering very large rooms and original period detail. The layout provides flexible two/three-bedroom accommodation with generous reception spaces, a dressing room/third bedroom option and extensive private gardens with countryside views — ideal for a family looking for space or someone seeking a character renovation.
The property is solidly built but needs modernisation throughout. The roof requires immediate attention, and walls are likely uninsulated; the oil boiler and septic tank reflect rural services. Slow broadband and a medium flood risk are practical constraints to consider alongside an expensive Council Tax band.
Internally the home retains striking features: open fires, an inglenook and stained glass, with high ceilings and substantial storage. Externally there’s off-street parking for three cars, a lean-to garage and useful outbuildings. The large garden and elevated views across farmland are strong lifestyle assets.
This is a renovation opportunity: buyers should budget for roof repair, modern heating and insulation upgrades, and kitchen/bathroom improvements. For the right purchaser, the house offers scope to create a comfortable, characterful family home in a peaceful rural setting within walking distance of village amenities.
