Summary - 2 HOLMES HOUSE COTTAGES, DARLINGTON, PIERCEBRIDGE DL2 3SY
2 bed 1 bath House
Character-filled starter with renovation potential close to village amenities.
Two bedrooms with countryside views
A stone-built mid-terrace cottage on the edge of Piercebridge, this two-bedroom home offers authentic period character and countryside views. The spacious double reception room with a cast-iron multi-fuel stove creates an immediate sense of warmth and living potential, while two first-floor bedrooms look out across open farmland. Communal off-street parking and a small front garden add practical convenience.
The property is sold freehold and extends to about 969 sq ft, making it a good-sized starter home or a downsizer opportunity. The kitchen and utility space are functional, and the house has double glazing installed before 2002. Local amenities—farm shop, café, pubs and a post office—are within easy reach, and Darlington and Barnard Castle are close enough for commuting or day trips.
Important to note: the house needs renovation. The upstairs bathroom requires completion and other remedial works are likely given the age and construction (stone walls assumed without insulation). Heating relies on a solid-fuel back boiler and wood logs as the main fuel; mains services are present but drainage is to a shared septic tank. There is also a high flooding risk for the location, which buyers must factor into insurance and any renovation plans.
For buyers seeking a character home with room to improve, this cottage presents clear scope to add value through sympathetic upgrading and insulation work. It will suit someone comfortable managing a renovation and wanting a peaceful village setting with strong transport links nearby.
