Set in semi-rural South Cleatlam, this mid-terraced stone cottage offers generous rooms across two storeys and clear scope for improvement. The large open-plan living/dining room and a substantial kitchen give a family plenty of everyday space, while three first-floor bedrooms suit growing households.
The house retains period character in its stone façade and arched alcoves, and benefits from anthracite double glazing and roof-mounted solar panels that reduce running costs. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators; council tax is very low which is a practical saving for buyers.
The property does require modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating, likely energy-efficiency improvements (walls are assumed uninsulated) and general refurbishment are needed. The plot is small with a modest rear yard only; there is no visible front garden.
This home will appeal to families or buyers seeking a village location near Staindrop with good local schools and easy road access to Barnard Castle, Darlington and Bishop Auckland. For purchasers willing to renovate, the house offers a solid, characterful base and attractive space for reconfiguration or upgrading.
