A beautiful stone-built mid terrace in the heart of ever-popular Shotley Bridge, brimming with character and enjoying a private rear aspect, mature cottage-style garden and detached garage with power. An ideal home for first-time buyers, downsizers or small families seeking village living with charm and convenience.

Set within one of Shotley Bridge’s most desirable residential areas, this attractive stone-built mid terraced home offers an abundance of period character, generous proportions and a wonderfully private rear garden that is not directly overlooked.
A composite front door opens into an inviting entrance vestibule, complete with elegant wainscot panelling, setting the tone for the warmth and charm that continues throughout. From here, a spacious inner hallway provides access to the ground floor reception rooms. The lounge is centred around an attractive fireplace feature and is enhanced by high ceilings, decorative coving and a ceiling rose, all of which combine to create a refined yet welcoming living space.

The dining room offers a cosy and versatile second reception room, ideal for more intimate gatherings or relaxed family meals. To the rear, the kitchen is arranged in a practical horseshoe layout with cream gloss cabinetry, butcher’s block work surfaces and a full wall of metro tiling that adds both texture and timeless appeal. A characterful understairs pantry provides useful additional storage. A door from the kitchen leads directly out to a paved seating area which captures the early morning sun, making it the perfect spot for a quiet coffee to start the day.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed, with a lawned section framed by well-considered cottage garden planting, creating colour and interest through the seasons. A further block-paved seating area enjoys the afternoon sun, offering a lovely space for outdoor dining and entertaining. At the foot of the garden sits a detached garage with power supply, providing secure parking or valuable storage, with additional parking available on the rear lane.

To the first floor, a split-level staircase with original period balustrade rises to a notably spacious landing. This area offers excellent versatility, whether as a reading nook or home office space, and presents potential for the installation of an additional staircase into the loft, subject to the necessary consents for conversion. There are two bedrooms positioned to the front of the property, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes. A generous storage cupboard is located off the landing, and the bathroom is an impressive, well-proportioned space designed with relaxation in mind, featuring a corner bath and separate shower, creating a calm retreat at the end of the day.

Shotley Bridge village is a sought-after residential area and has a charming range of local shops and amenities including a primary school (infant and junior schools), a fantastic tennis and cricket club. Consett town centre is 1.5 miles away and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and sporting facilities. There are several popular countrywide walks and cycle routes, including along the River Derwent and further into neighbouring Northumberland. It is well positioned for access to Newcastle and Durham, both within 16 miles, making it an excellent location from which to commute.

A characterful home in a truly desirable village setting, early viewing is strongly recommended.
