Front Street, Rookhope, DL13

A 5-bedroom stone house, situated in the quiet Weardale village of Rookhope. The property is currently used as a very successful holiday let, however it would equally make a fantastic large family home.

Entrance to the property is via a large hallway featuring huge flagstones likely laid when the property was built in 1830. The hallway runs the full length of the property with a large u-shaped staircase leading to the first floor. All rooms are currently of modern, neutral decor and feature wooden sash windows, each room feels very light and spacious.

The kitchen is situated at one end of a large open plan kitchen/dining room, there is currently a 10-seater dining table, yet the room still feels extremely spacious with plenty of room for the entire family. At the opposite end of the room there is a living area and access to the side entrance porch and downstairs WC. The ground floor also includes 2 further living rooms, one of which is currently being used as a games room. However, both rooms could be multipurpose to suit the new owners’ needs.

Upstairs, in addition to the 5 bedrooms there is a large family bathroom and 2 En suites. The significant floor space in the bathroom means that a large free-standing bath in the centre of the room would not look out of place should the new owners like to install one.

The property benefits from a quiet, south facing rear paved garden and a huge garage/workshop building. An annual parking permit is available for the village hall carpark immediately next door to the property.

Games Room

4.26m x 2.92m

As the property is used as a holiday let, the reception room to the rear of the house is currently set up as a games room.

Again, the light and spacious theme continues, with a further 2 wooden frame sash windows and modern, neutral decor.

The garage/workshop is currently divided into 2 rooms, one 9.39m in length, the other 3.67m, both rooms measure 5m across. Although both rooms do have power and lighting, the garage/workshop building is in need of a new roof should it see use on a more regular basis than it currently does.
