2-3 Overburn, Alston

Located in a quiet side street, within easy walking distance of the centre of this historic Pennine market town, in an elevated position with a generous landscaped garden to the rear, a deceptively spacious and flexible, 3 story, 4 bedroom stone built townhouse. Requires some updating.

Offered to the market with no ongoing chain, and found in good order throughout but in need of updating and priced accordingly, 2-3 Overburn is a most interesting opportunity to acquire a characterful and appealing residence, located within easy walking distance of the centre of England’s highest market town, sat in the glorious open countryside of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Originally two separate cottages, which here integrated into a single dwelling a number of years ago, the property provides flexible and deceptively spacious accommodation over three levels, and being built into the slope of the hill gives it an elevated position.

From the street level, steps lead up to the front forecourt which opens into the ground floor which comprises the living room, dining kitchen and shower room.

To the first floor are the main bedrooms, the second of which has a staircase leading to the first of the attic bedrooms, the additional attic bedroom having its own staircase access from the landing.

Also from the first floor landing, a doorway leads to the garden at the rear, which carries on up the slope to the access road at the top.

The gardens have been terraced and well stocked with specimen planting to create private seating areas. The potential also exists, subject to the necessary permissions, to create vehicle access.

In addition, there is a separate stone built store to the front of the property, ideal for pushbikes and outdoor equipment.

Ideal as a first time buy, or for a growing family, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
