The property is situated in this much sought after village which lies approximately 3 miles south of Durham City. The village is in a Conservation Area and within an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is a past winner of both Northumbria and Durham in Bloom competitions. There is a local church, St Bartholomew’s in the village and a pub /hotel The Honest Lawyer) close by. There is an abundance of local walks through beautiful countryside from the village.
Durham city is usually less than 10 minutes by car and offers a wide range of shopping, recreational, and religious amenities. The A167 skirts the village providing rapid access North and south.
Of historic significance this property will date back in some form for centuries, locals suggest it was once used as a coaching Inn just off the Great North Road. Indeed, with a cellar showing signs of period design this could well be the case.
The property needs extensive repair and improvement. That said there is huge potential to create something special from a home which essentially has been untouched for years. Many period features remain in situ. Buyers should consider in their planning that the property is situated in a Conservation Area and will require all necessary consents from the local authority (Durham City).
Access to the property is via an entrance lobby into the hallway which permits entry to on one side a study/extra reception room leading out to a lean-to conservatory come greenhouse.
A ground floor shower cubicle is situated at the end of the hallway.
To the other side of the hall is the spacious lounge with beamed ceilings leading to the inner lobby with staircase to first floor.
From this lobby there is access to the dining room and through to the kitchen, again well- proportioned in size but again requiring work to upgrade.
The kitchen has a pantry and a door to the rear courtyard garden, with south and west aspects for afternoon and evening sunshine.
Upstairs are two good-sized bedrooms as well as a very spacious bathroom which could probably accommodate alteration to provide a third bedroom.
Returning to the outside areas there are two gravelled areas both with right of way for the owners of this property. One to the side garden is a right of access for pedestrians not vehicles and one to the front for shared vehicular right of way.
