Set on the fringe of Shotley Bridge village, this enchanting double-fronted stone cottage offers a wonderful blend of traditional charm and modern refinement. The property has been thoughtfully upgraded, featuring a newly installed composite front door and recently replaced triple-glazed windows to the front, which enhance both kerb appeal and energy efficiency.

The kitchen is situated to the rear of the property and stretches the width of the home. This large space offers flexibility and is perfect for modern living, offering space to include a dining area, family space or snug due to its generous proportions. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted cabinetry and a Belfast sink and is open-plan to the additional reception space, creating a social living space. An external door leads from the kitchen out onto the patio to the rear.

The garden is set over two levels, beginning with a smart block-paved patio area complete with a log store, steps lead up to an elevated garden laid with further paving and lawn. This outdoor space is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining and has two large sheds for storage. There is also a useful side access connecting the front and rear of the property.
