Oversized garage and driveway; useful storage and parking

A rare detached stone home on a generous plot, this three-bedroom Georgian-era property sits quietly in Burnopfield with excellent privacy and a large rear garden ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining. The house retains character features — fireplaces, sash-style proportions and a rustic façade — while offering flexible accommodation including a ground-floor study that could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office.
Internally the layout provides spacious reception rooms, a country-style kitchen diner, utility room and two bathrooms. The oversized garage and driveway provide useful parking and storage. The property’s floor area of approximately 153 sq.m. (1,647 sq.ft.) gives room for growing families or someone seeking adaptable living space close to local schools and village amenities.
Buyers should note the home’s age and construction: built before 1900 from natural stone and assumed to have no solid-wall insulation. The EPC is rated E, so energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, boiler service or upgrade) are likely to be needed to reduce running costs. Some areas require clearance and refurbishment to modern standards, presenting both a cost and an opportunity for improvement and value uplift.
Situated in comfortable suburbia with very low crime and good mobile signal, the house benefits from easy access to Newcastle and Durham while retaining village character. The property is freehold with council tax band D and no flood risk, making it a straightforward purchase for families or buyers looking to renovate and add value.
