Description
A fantastic opportunity for those looking for a renovation project to purchase two adjoining cottages which likely could be converted into one dwelling subject to the necessary planning consents. Furthermore, the property benefits from a large double storey, workshop, hardstanding parking area, a south facing garden and an allotment area which also has potential for either additional garden area or additional parking.
The large, double story workshop benefits from power and lighting, in addition to solar panels on the roof which are linked to a feed in tariff to generate additional income. The workshop is situated to the Western side of the cottages, with an area of hardstanding situated immediately outside, which can be used for parking.
Although the cottages require renovation and modernisation, the roof on both cottages was replaced in recent years giving peace of mind that this significant piece of work has already been taken care of.
The large south facing garden benefits from a shed, greenhouse and views of the surrounding hillsides. This really is a unique opportunity so book a viewing early to avoid disappointment.
Agents Notes
The cottages are currently heated by wall mounted electric radiators, however there is an old coal house to the rear which could be used to house an oil-fired boiler should the new owners wish to install one.
The chimneys are currently blocked but still functional and could be reopened if desired.
The windows are mix of wooden framed and uPVC, however the majority would likely need to be replaced by the new owner as part of the renovation works.
Both cottages are currently band A council tax, with 2 payments being due, one for each property. Should the new owner obtain planning permission to convert the cottages into one dwelling the council tax banding would need to be reassessed by Durham County Council.
There is a public footpath which runs in between the parking area and the allotment area but this does not detract from the impressive potential that the property holds.
