Sited in arguably the most attractive street in the village of Eggleston, additional parking is available at the front, with multiple spaces often being free. This makes for easy unloading and a short walk to the door.

This 3-bedroom property, over 10 years of ownership has, among other things, had a new roof, a new kitchen and a new bathroom. This property is comfortable and dry, and from the get-go, there are no worrisome horrors blemishing your move, and less to immediately finance.

Oil-fired central heating, partial underfloor heating and the presence of a large multi-fuel stove make it just perfectly cosy for those colder days or for quickly getting warm after a walk.

Eggleston is a medieval village located within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and is known for its open countryside, waterways and wild landscapes. A stone's throw from moorland walks, Eggleston is also in the heart of beautiful Teesdale, only 6 miles from the historic market town of Barnard Castle. Eggleston is also near other attractions such as Eggleston Hall, High Force waterfall, The Bowes Museum and Raby Castle. The village is beautifully cared for, is primarily residential but the community are well supported by a decent pub with a farm shop, a post office, village hall and church.

The front door of this property leads into a pleasantly-lit hallway with a balustrade staircase, WC and a large understairs storage cupboard,

To the front of the property, a smart light-and-airy sitting room with an open fire place and an attractive fire surround awaits you. This is a beautifully-proportioned, elegant room, with a large Georgian-style sash window, a high ceiling, picture rail, ornate cornices, and fully renovated floor boards. The plasterwork is in very good condition and has been painted form floor to ceiling.

To the rear, leading from the hallway, we find the dining room where it would be possible to house a dining table and chairs for 6-8 people. The great attraction of this room is its anticipated warmth and the beauty of the stove with its magnificent stone lintel. With food and refreshments served from the solid fitted kitchen, dining here will be comfortable, cosy and very practical,

There is a landscaped, lawned back garden which is supported well by good quality stone buildings, where equipment can be stored, An attractive porch acts as a useful break room between the back garden and a vital defence from the elements. Sitting in the garden or on the sun terrace, it feels perfect for family or entertaining friends. Whilst gazing at the surrounding view, it feels a great privilege to be immersed in such history and stewardship. We are reminded that this property sits simultaneously in an area of conservation, in an area with strong agricultural ties, and in the North Pennines AONB.

This is a real gem. For a viewing, please call 01833 523521.
