Previously two cottages, the current owners bought the property in 2000 and lovingly restored the cottage to create a family retreat which they have enjoyed over the last 20 years. Some walls were stripped back to reveal period features including two fireplaces which have been fully restored with the original stone mantle, and fitted with gas stoves, hearths and backed with Herrington brickwork. The property also benefitted from a full rewire, insulation, damp proof course, double glazing and full central heating system.

As soon as you walk into the property you will instantly get that nostalgic feeling. On entering the property there are two spacious reception rooms with original beams, reclaimed wooden doors, both with original fire surrounds and gas burning stoves; to the rear of the property there is a fitted kitchen and appliances include electric oven and hob, washer/dryer, fridge & freezer.

An open staircase with bespoke Ironwork banister leads to the first floor where there are two large double bedrooms with views to the front of the property; and family bathroom with classic sink and toilet complimented with brass style taps, and quality modern bath with electric shower.

Externally the property is accessed via a shared lane, although there is no garden with the property, at the end of the lane there is a detached garage with off-street parking and four storage sheds/outbuildings. To the front of the property there is a small paved area which provides seating and a pleasant spot to enjoy your morning coffee. This would make a perfect property for those that are looking to downsize and be part of a village community, families, or for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life but still within 30 minutes commute to Newcastle, Durham & Gateshead.

Ebchester is a picturesque village and benefits from primary school, village shop, village hall (with an abundance of community spirited activities); the Boat House located a short drive away has direct access to the River Derwent perfect for wild water swimming and paddle boarding. There are public houses and restaurants close by in Shotley Bridge, Medomsley and other neighbouring villages. The town of Consett is a short drive away where you will find a range of supermarkets, retail shops and bus station. Newcastle, Hexham and Durham are approximately 30 minutes by car, with Corbridge and its exclusive boutiques also within a short drive.
