The Property
Located in the scenic Upper Teesdale, 2 The Hill is an impressive stone-built house with a beautiful exterior that showcases a traditional and timeless farmhouse façade. Perched in an elevated position, it offers breathtaking views of the beautiful Teesdale countryside from all aspects. While historical records trace its occupation back to the mid-17th century, the property has recently undergone comprehensive renovation, with much of the home showcasing a fresh, neutral finish, offering a unique opportunity to personalise or adapt the space to suit your individual tastes.

The kitchen features elegant limestone flooring and a range of sage green shaker-style base units, beautifully paired with pristine white countertops. A classic double Belfast sink adds a touch of traditional charm while modern conveniences include an integrated dishwasher and a range cooker. The layout ensures there is plenty of space for a large table and chairs, making it an inviting space for both everyday meals and entertaining guests.

From the kitchen, you can access the rear lobby, which opens out to the rear garden. This space is currently designed as a practical boot room, perfect for hanging outdoor gear. Additionally, a convenient utility room with WC adds extra convenient storage space and is equipped with a sink and plumbing for a washer/dryer.

The spacious sitting room is a stylish space with an original stone fireplace serving as a captivating focal point. The room is enhanced by charming overhead beams and engineered light oak flooring.

Upstairs, you'll find three double bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated in neutral tones. The principal bedroom is especially inviting, featuring elegant paneling and a vaulted ceiling, along with the luxury of a private dressing room and en-suite shower room. The other two bedrooms share a generously sized family bathroom, complete with a double-ended bath and overhead shower.

Externally
2 The Hill is perfectly positioned in a stunning elevated rural setting, offering panoramic views of the unspoiled Teesdale countryside and the Tees River. A charming country lane leads to the property and a spacious gravel parking area that can accommodate multiple vehicles.

Adjacent to the driveway, a south facing lawned area, bordered by a low stone wall and mature hedges, provides an ideal outdoor space for relaxation. At the rear, a flagged patio, accessible from the kitchen/dining room and utility room, is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining amongst the tranquil surroundings.

Additionally, planning permission has been granted for the construction of a double garage and the installation of solar panels, offering opportunities for further enhancement of this exceptional property.
