Thought to have been built in the 1840s, this charming stone terraced cottage
has undergone significant renovation in recent years, with a mixture of period
features and modernisation producing a beautifully presented home, situated
within the quiet rural village of Westgate.
New doors and windows have been fitted throughout the entire property and the
renovation has seen a great blend of modern decor and period features
retained.
The ground floor comprises of a cozy yet light living room, a newly created
breakfast/dining room and newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The
rear entrance to the property features a stable door, again newly fitted, and
leads out to a shared rear yard which houses the log store and oil tank which
fuels the property’s central heating.
The staircase rises to the first - floor landing which feels very light and
provides access to both bedrooms, the bathroom, sun terrace and the large loft
space, which is fully boarded out, providing storage and even conversion
potential.
Accessed from the landing, the sun terrace is positioned at the rear of the
property and faces west. The terrace was only recently refurbished, features
composite decking, and provides a lovely private outdoor space to sit and
relax, and even watch the sun go down.
There is also a walled seating area to the front of the property which is
south facing and provides a very pleasant place to sit and watch the slow
moving, quiet world of Weardale go by.
