Teesdale Cottage 2/3 Bedrooms

Description

Acorn Cottage, Evenwood, between Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle. A double fronted traditional stone cottage dating from the nineteenth century, perched atop a gentle rise on the very edge of The Village Green with uninterrupted views, which cannot be obstructed or spoiled in any way. Whilst retaining all its period features and charm, the cottage has been updated with a modern kitchen and bathroom as well as full gas central heating, complete double glazing and recent new roof insulation.
Flexible accommodation comprises an entrance porch, 1 or 2 reception rooms both overlooking The Green and 2 or 3 bedrooms, one on the ground floor near the bathroom. A modern kitchen to the rear of the cottage overlooks its pretty and private cottage garden, from which access to the rear lane is gained across the neighbour's garden. A high fence and garden door separates the two properties, affording privacy.
The Sitting Room has a traditional fireplace with slate tiled hearth and a multi-fuel Aga stove as well as a radiator. The front window overlooks The Green. The Dining Room, which could instead be ground floor bedroom number three, has the original fireplace (sealed) and a window overlooking The Green. The ground floor bathroom is particularly spacious having both a walk-in shower and a bathtub. Good water pressure affords a strong shower supplied by the multi-point gas boiler, installed from sight in a kitchen cupboard.
The staircase, below which is an extensive storage cupboard, rises from the end of the kitchen to the first-floor landing, from which access is gained to the two good sized double bedrooms. The first bedroom has the original fireplace (sealed) and a small walk-in wardrobe space and the double-glazed window over looks The Green. The second bedroom is larger and also has a double-glazed window overlooking The Green and a large roof hatch to access the loft.
Exterior Immediately to the front of the cottage is The Village Green and a private lane with a parking space directly in front of the property. The Green slopes gently away from the cottage to a further lane below, which affords additional or alternative parking. To the rear of the cottage is its pretty private and secluded cottage garden planted with shrubs and flowers, which is part AstroTurfed and part paved, with unobtrusive bin storage. A full height fence and garden door separates it from the neighbour’s garden, right of way over whose property grants access to the rear lane.
