Riverbank Cottage is a unique and characterful semi-detached period property, enjoying privacy and seclusion at the end of a private driveway. The house is situated within substantial gardens and grounds including a field, mature gardens, woodland and a riverbank setting alongside the River Tees. 

On entering through a charming arched doorway, the hallway gives off to a cloakroom, kitchen, two reception rooms and stairs to the first floor. 

The living room has parquet flooring and is dual aspect with French doors out to a patio together with an impressive cast iron range set within a stone surround. There are two further reception rooms including a dining room with parquet flooring which is fitted with cupboards, shelving and a feature fireplace, and a study.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional solid oak units which are complemented by granite worktops and a slate floor. There is space for a freestanding oven with hob, fridge freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher and a large pantry cupboard with shelving. 

To the first floor there are two double and a single bedroom, each of which enjoy inspirational views across the gardens. The double bedrooms have the benefit of built- in cupboards and the designer bathroom is spacious with a WC, hand basin, freestanding bath, and a walk-in shower. 

There is a detached self-contained annexe which is equipped with a kitchen including a range of units, oven and hob, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Leading through is the large living room with French doors out to a private garden, and a shower room. This offers immediate potential to be let as a holiday home or air B&B. It would also work well for those with a dependant relative or older children and has possible uses as a studio, games room or home office. There are solar panels on the roof, an EV charger, and a timber and tool store. 

Externally the property is complemented by delightful gardens and grounds which extend to a total of 2.5 acres approximately. The gravel driveway has space for numerous vehicles. Immediately adjacent to the property is a secluded lawned garden with patio for seating, flower beds and established trees. The gardens extend into open grassland with established trees and a fenced boundary. Uniquely the property benefits from substantial private woodland with a terraced walk down to the riverside. Steps through the woodland proceed to established riverside paths offering a peaceful and private area for enjoying the surroundings and wildlife. 

There is a large timber garage with a hardcore driveway which comfortably houses three cars and benefits from having power and electric. 

Overall, Riverbank Cottage would make an excellent family home and will appeal to those looking for a rural yet accessible property.
