<p>Nestled in the heart of the North Pennines, a recognised National Landscape celebrated for its unspoilt beauty, this two-bedroom detached stone cottage offers the perfect blend of traditional character and modern comfort. Extensively renovated and updated by the current owners, the property boasts period features, including warm wood panelling, deep window sills, and elegant ceiling corbels. The inviting lounge features a multi-fuel burner, creating a cosy atmosphere for relaxing evenings, while uPVC windows throughout the home ensure ample natural light and excellent energy efficiency. The thoughtfully designed kitchen provides a practical space for cooking, and a separate utility room adds further convenience. Externally, the property offers a spacious rear garden with potential for further development, and off-road parking for multiple vehicles adds further appeal to the property.</p><p>The current owners have thoughtfully updated the home in recent years, with the addition of: a new electrical consumer unit and electrical sockets in 2019; installation of a multi-fuel burner in 2020; new shed and utility room in 2020; installation of a new oil Combi boiler in 2021.<br/><br/>Outside, the property is approached by a concrete pathway leading from the pavement to the front door, bordered by a small front garden enclosed by stone walls on three sides. This low-maintenance front garden is laid to gravel and features shrubs and flowers, providing a welcoming first impression. To the rear, a spacious garden is divided into lower and upper levels. The lower garden, accessible directly from the kitchen via a double-glazed uPVC door with frosted pane or from the driveway, is laid to gravel and features raised planters, log storage, and a generous wooden shed (measuring 5m x 2.4m). A converted stone outhouse serves as a utility room (1.54m x 2.34m), fully equipped with plumbing, power, and lighting, offering ample space for laundry appliances and storage. The upper garden, accessed via a public right of way, offers tremendous potential and could be transformed into a peaceful seating area to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding hillsides. Above this, a gravelled area belonging to the property provides further scope for development, whether as an extension of the garden or as an additional off-road parking area. A large off-road parking space at the front of the property, positioned on the Northern side and accessed from the roadside, comfortably accommodates three vehicles. </p><p>This delightful cottage, with its versatile outdoor spaces and peaceful rural setting, is perfect for those seeking a characterful home with room to grow.
