A superb family home which must be seen to be fully appreciated. Built in
1861, this unique character property was a former Sunday School, later
renovated and divided in to 2 residential properties in the 1980s. Further
renovation has taken place in recent years however many period features have
been lovingly retained. Extensive redecoration has taken place throughout
during the last 12 months. Including newly polished wooden floors on the
ground floor and new carpets throughout on the first floor. New wooden frame
windows are in the process of being fitted on the ground floor and bespoke
Hillarys blinds have been installed in the living room.
The large 3 - bedroom property (with potential for 4th bedroom) is accessed by a
wide access bridge over a small stream leading across a shared (with adjoining
property) block - paved driveway to reach a substantial private parking area for
several cars in front of the also private garage.
The front entrance of the main house is accessed via the original double
wooden doors which lead to a large lobby area. Although this lobby currently
provides access for the adjoining property, the lobby is owned by this
property and potential works have already been agreed with the neighbours to
re - configure the current access arrangements and provide both properties with
fully private entrances. The cost of the works would be minimal should the new
owner wish to proceed with such plans.
The 2 - storey stone - built annexe currently consists of a garage on the ground
floor with a WC room and a staircase leading to an attic room, currently being
used as 4th bedroom. The annexe boasts huge potential for
renovation/development to either provide permanent additional family living
space, a 4th bedroom, or (with the conversion of the garage) to create a
2 - storey stand - alone dwelling. The development could be used for family and
friends or as a holiday let. There are no local development restrictions in
place outside of usual planning regulations, and with Weardale being extremely
popular with holiday makers, there’s potential to generate a significant
additional income should the new owner wish to pursue that avenue.
Situated in a beautiful rural setting just a stone’s throw from the centre of
the village of Frosterley, Weardale. The village has a primary school, small
supermarket with post office, a village chippy and a recently renovated pub.
The nearest secondary school is just a 5 - minute drive away in Wolsingham.
