A 5 - bedroom stone house, situated in the quiet Weardale village of Rookhope.
The property is currently used as a very successful holiday let, however it
would equally make a fantastic large family home.
Entrance to the property is via a large hallway featuring huge flagstones
likely laid when the property was built in 1830. The hallway runs the full
length of the property with a large u - shaped staircase leading to the first
floor. All rooms are currently of modern, neutral decor and feature wooden
sash windows, each room feels very light and spacious.
The kitchen is situated at one end of a large open plan kitchen/dining room,
there is currently a 10 - seater dining table, yet the room still feels
extremely spacious with plenty of room for the entire family. At the opposite
end of the room there is a living area and access to the side entrance porch
and downstairs WC. The ground floor also includes 2 further living rooms, one
of which is currently being used as a games room. However, both rooms could be
multipurpose to suit the new owners’ needs.
Upstairs, in addition to the 5 bedrooms there is a large family bathroom and 2
En suites. The significant floor space in the bathroom means that a large
free - standing bath in the centre of the room would not look out of place
should the new owners like to install one.
The property benefits from a quiet, south facing rear paved garden and a huge
garage/workshop building. An annual parking permit is available for the
village hall carpark immediately next door to the property.

**Location**
Rookhope is situated half way up Weardale within the North Pennines, a
designated area of outstanding natural beauty (aonb). The area is hugely
popular with walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as those just
looking to get away from busy city life. Local amenities can be found in the
small town of Stanhope which is 5. 5 miles away.
**Hallway**
1. 19m x 9. 24m + 3. 64m x 1. 9m
Entrance to the property is via a large hallway featuring huge flagstones
likely laid when the property was built in 1830. The hallway runs the full
length of the property with a large u - shaped staircase leading to the first
floor. Adjacent to the staircase is a doorway leading to a large under stairs
storage cupboard, which in turn leads down to the cellar.
**Living Room (4. 48m x 4. 22m)**
To the left of the entrance is a living room with neutral modern decor, which
currently contains 3 sofas yet still feels spacious. With 2 wooden framed sash
windows and high ceilings the room feels very light and spacious.
**Kitchen/Dining/Living Room (4. 15m x 9. 22m)**
Halfway down the hallway and opposite the staircase a door leads through into
the large open plan Kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is situated at one end of
this room, with a range of modern kitchen units, integrated appliances and
large worksurfaces. In the centre of the room there is currently a 10 - seater
dining table yet the room still feels extremely spacious and light with the
modern decor similar to that of the living room. At the opposite end of the
room there is a further seating area currently home to 2 sofas and a coffee
table. This room really does provide plenty of space for the entire family.
**Games Room (4. 26m x 2. 92m)**
As the property is used as a holiday let, the reception room to the rear of
the house is currently set up as a games room. However, if the property was to
become a family home this room could be a living room, dining room or office
to suit the new owners' needs. Again, the light and spacious theme continues,
with a further 2 wooden frame sash windows and modern, neutral decor.
**Side Entrance Porch (1. 28m x 1. 00m)**
There are 3 entrances to this property, front and back doors as you would
expect, but the 3rd entrance is situated on the western side of the building.
This leads into a small entrance porch.
**WC (1. 27m x 0. 77m)**
Accessible from the side entrance porch and the kitchen/dining room is a WC
with corner wash basin.
**Landing (4. 59m x 1. 94m)**
The u - shaped staircase leads up to a large central landing, with doorways to
the 5 bedrooms and family bathroom.
**Bedroom 1 (3. 47m x 4. 26m)**
The first bedroom on your right at the top of the stairs is a spacious double
room in with an integrated storage cupboard and a feature fireplace, as can be
found in a number of rooms in the house.
**Bedroom 2 (3. 56m x 4. 18m)**
Bedroom 2 is another spacious double room, but this one has an En suite.
**Bedroom 2 En Suite (1. 16m x 1. 65m)**
The Bedroom 2 En suite contains a WC, corner basin and raised corner shower
cubicle.
**Bedroom 3 (3. 53m x 4. 12m)**
Bedroom 3 is a large double room, again very light and spacious and containing
another En suite.
**Bedroom 3 En Suite (1. 77m x 1. 77m)**

WC and rectangular wash basin.
**Bedroom 4 (3. 46m x 2. 93m)**
Bedroom 4 is currently set up as a twin room but could equally be another
double room.
**Bedroom 5 (3. 40m x 2. 95m)**
The 5th and final bedroom is very similar to bedroom 4, currently set up as a
twin but could become a double if required.
**Bathroom (3. 39m x 3. 12m)**
This substantially sized family bathroom contains a large bath with overhead
shower and glass screen, a rectangular hand basin, WC and integrated storage
cupboards. The significant floor space means that a large free standing bath
in the centre of the room would not look out of place should the new owners
wish to install one.
**Garage (13. 06m x 5. 00m)**
The garage/workshop is currently divided into 2 rooms, one 9. 39m in length,
the other 3. 67m, both rooms measure 5m across. Although both rooms do have
power and lighting, the garage/workshop building is in need of a new roof
should it see use on a more regular basis than it currently does.
**Garden**
To the rear of the property is a quiet, south facing paved garden with
gravelled seating area. The garden provides access to both rooms of the
garage/workshop through separate doorways.
**Parking - Garage**
