The Property
Woodend was built in 1830 and has been fully renovated, benefitting from
stylish internal decoration, yet retaining much period charm. Nestled in the
hillside in an elevated position with only a handful of neighbours, the
property enjoys wonderful views to the south, down over the Teesdale Valley
and a fantastic roof terrace makes the most of this.
The entrance porch leads through into the dining room; a smart room with a
wonderful Art Deco fireplace, a lovely view of the front garden and beyond,
and a door through into the sitting room. The sitting room is light and bright
with double windows to take further advantage of the scenery to the front of
the house and a large stone inglenook fireplace with multifuel stove creating
a cosy, homely atmosphere.
From the dining room, a wood paneled opening arrives at the foot of the stairs
and a door to the right goes through into the kitchen. The spacious kitchen is
a pleasing blend of period and contemporary styles, with beamed ceiling,
underfloor heating and a comprehensive range of bespoke hand finished units
and integrated appliances including Neff oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge
and gas/electric hob. There is also a fantastic pantry style cupboard, which
the current owners use for baking and an island unit adds to the already
excellent preparation space and there is ample room for a table and chairs
plus the window seat and a reading nook, creating a sociable space for family
life and entertaining.
To the other side of the stairs, is a very handy boot/utility room with plenty
of storage, a Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer,
small freezer and access to the rear garden, along with a WC, leading through
in to a good sized study with views of the surrounding hills. This could also
be used as a playroom or a small downstairs bedroom.
On the first floor, the generous principal bedroom is elegantly decorated and
has full - width bespoke fitted wardrobes and a fitted dressing unit. Beside the
principal bedroom is a well - appointed shower room. The second bedroom is
pleasingly decorated, also with fitted wardrobes and a large useful storage
cupboard, and is serviced by a contemporary bathroom with shower above the
bath, and a separate WC.
The large third bedroom, currently utilized as a second sitting room, provides
access onto the roof terrace, which is a wonderful elevated space to enjoy the
southerly views and watch the sun rise and set. All three bedrooms also enjoy
these superb views.
Externally
A gated paved driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and access
to the garages, which also has pedestrian access to the rear garden. There is
a useful covered passageway that allows access directly from the garage to the
rear door from the boot room, as well as providing useful storage space.
Beside the garage is a greenhouse and to the right of this, a separate two -
story workshop/garage/ upstairs storage space with electricity. This has the
potential to be used as extra accommodation or an annexe, subject to necessary
planning consents.
The front garden is a beautiful private haven, surrounded by mature hedges and
trees, yet still allowing sight of the amazing views. The garden has been
superbly tended and bright flowers add flashes of colour to the greenery.
There are seating areas for al fresco dining, entertaining and relaxing,
including a patio that runs across the front of the house. A path runs around
the side of the house to the rear garden, where stone steps lead up to shrubs,
rose trees and a kennel and dog run.
Opposite the house, across the lane is a large fruit/vegetable garden with
mature fruit trees and bushes, and a number of vegetable beds.
