A charming and beautifully presented 1830s stone built cottage situated in the
quaint village of Ebchester, walking distance to the village store and on the
main bus route. Ideal for those looking for a second home or low maintenance
property.
Chain Free
Previously two cottages, the current owners bought the property in 2000 and
lovingly restored the cottage to create a family retreat which they have
enjoyed over the last 20 years. Some walls were stripped back to reveal period
features including two fireplaces which have been fully restored with the
original stone mantle, and fitted with gas stoves, hearths and backed with
Herrington brickwork. The property also benefitted from a full rewire,
insulation, damp proof course, double glazing and full central heating system.
As soon as you walk into the property you will instantly get that nostalgic
feeling. On entering the property there are two spacious reception rooms with
original beams, reclaimed wooden doors, both with original fire surrounds and
gas burning stoves; to the rear of the property there is a fitted kitchen and
appliances include electric oven and hob, washer/dryer, fridge & freezer.
An open staircase with bespoke Ironwork banister leads to the first floor
where there are two large double bedrooms with views to the front of the
property; and family bathroom with classic sink and toilet complimented with
brass style taps, and quality modern bath with electric shower.
Externally the property is accessed via a shared lane, although there is no
garden with the property, at the end of the lane there is a detached garage
with off - street parking and four storage sheds/outbuildings. To the front of
the property there is a small paved area which provides seating and a pleasant
spot to enjoy your morning coffee. This would make a perfect property for
those that are looking to downsize and be part of a village community,
families, or for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life
but still within 30 minutes commute to Newcastle, Durham & Gateshead.
Ebchester is a picturesque village and benefits from primary school, village
shop, village hall (with an abundance of community spirited activities); the
Boat House located a short drive away has direct access to the River Derwent
perfect for wild water swimming and paddle boarding. There are public houses
and restaurants close by in Shotley Bridge, Medomsley and other neighbouring
villages. The town of Consett is a short drive away where you will find a
range of supermarkets, retail shops and bus station. Newcastle, Hexham and
Durham are approximately 30 minutes by car, with Corbridge and its exclusive
boutiques also within a short drive.
